An incident was registered in the Yeraskh section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border on July 14 at around 10:30 am. Units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces tried to carry out fortification works using engineering equipment in order to advance their positions. After the counter-actions of the Armenian side aimed at stopping the mentioned works, the Azeri soldiers opened fire in the direction of the Armenian positions. An Armenian serviceman received a fatal gunshot wound. The Azerbaijani side also has losses.

The Armenian Ministry of Defense has strongly condemned the Azerbaijani “provocation”, warning such actions will get tough retaliation, and that the entire responsibility for further aggravation of the situation lies with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan.
