Skirmish on the border of Kelbajar
Baku/03.06.22/Turan: The positions of Azerbaijani armed forces deployed towards Zailik and Yellija settlements of the Kelbajar region were shelled from the Armenian side on the night from June 2 to 3.
No casualties were sustained, the Defence Ministry's press service said. According to the same source, the Armenian side is deliberately trying to aggravate the situation on the state border "to distract its public attention from the processes taking place in the country".
The Armenian side, in turn, has once again claimed that the reports about the border crossings are disinformation. -02D-
