Azerbaijan Says Armenian Forces Attacked Three Border Region

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry on Friday said that Armenian forces had attacked three border regions.

The Ministry said; "Starting from 11:45 p.m. on Sept. 22, to 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 23, the Armenian armed forces units from the positions in the directions of the Chinarli settlement of Tovuzgala region and Yukhari Shorzha, Gunashli, and Zarkand settlements of Basarkechar region of the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border using various calibre weapons.”

Earlier this week, Azerbaijan accused Armenia of staging "provocations" along the shared border by firing mortars and grenades at its forces.

Fighting between the two sides erupted earlier this month in clashes that left almost 200 soldiers dead.

The fighting is linked to hostilities over control of the Karabakh region, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but, until 2020, largely controlled by Armenia.
