The information of the Armenian side that the units of the Azerbaijani army were allegedly thrown back to their original positions in the southern direction of the front is false, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said.
"The Azerbaijani army has full tactical and firepower superiority over the Armenian Armed Forces in all directions of the front. The Armenian troops are being squeezed from their positions in planned and methodical manner," the ministry added.
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.
