According to the latter, the shooting started in Sotk, then continued in the direction of Verin Shorzha.

At around 03:40, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces once again resorted to provocation, violating the ceasefire in the north-eastern part of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. “Before the talks in Moscow the enemy launched pre-emptive hostilities on the borders of the Republic of Armenia, from Sotk to Verin Shorzha. The enemy is trying to improve its bases, creating favorable conditions for advancement. The Armenian Armed Forces subdivisions are fulfilling their combat tasks, defending their positions, not allowing the enemy to advance,” the official statement of the Ministry of Defense reads.
