The Armenian Armed Forces attempted to conduct an offensive in the direction of Agdere, Aghdam and Khojavend districts on November 3, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.
As a result of the decisive measures taken by the Azerbaijani divisions, the Armenian Armed Forces’ attack was repulsed and while suffering big losses, the Armenian troops were forced to retreat.
Currently, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces fully control the operational situation.
The Armenian armed forces committed a large-scale provocation, subjecting the positions of the Azerbaijani army to intensive shelling from large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery installations of various calibers in the front-line zone on Sept. 27 at 05:00 (Msk). The command of the Azerbaijani Army decided to launch a counter-offensive operation of Azerbaijani troops along the entire front to suppress the combat activity of the Armenian armed forces and ensure the safety of the civilian population. To date, Fizuli and Jabrayil districts, including the cities of Jabrayil and Fizuli, the city of Zangilan and part of Zangilan district, part of the Gubaldi region, the city of Gubadli, the city of Hadrut and a number of villages in the Khojavend region, the villages of Sugovushan and Talish in the Terter region, as well as the strategically important Murovdag mountain were liberated.
