In response, the Azerbaijani side is conducting counter-offensive operations.”

Our units fired at the headquarters of the 18th motorized rifle division of the 1st combined arms army of the Armenian armed forces located in the enemy-occupied settlement of Hadrut, the infrastructure of the 1st motorized rifle regiment and the headquarters of the 3rd motorized rifle regiment in Khojavend.
