Units of the Armenian Armed Forces shelled the positions of the Azerbaijani Army on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border with mortars and firearms, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense reported.
"On November 3, from 00:25 to 04:45 (GMT+4), the positions of Azerbaijani military units located in the Tovuz, Gadabay and Dashkasan districts of Azerbaijan were shot at from the Berd, Chambarak and Vardenis regions of Armenia," the statement reads.
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.
