Azerbaijan began “anti-terrorist measures” of a local nature in Karabakh to restore the constitutional order. Baku also accused Armenia of shelling its positions and closed its airspace.
It is reported that shooting battles began between the Karabakh Defense Army and the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in Shushi (under the control of Azerbaijan). Combat positions, long-term firing points and military facilities of the Armenian Armed Forces in the direction of the Khojaly region and the Red Bazaar are destroyed by units of the Azerbaijani army, reports the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated that the only path to “peace” in the region is the complete withdrawal of the Armenian military from Karabakh and the dissolution of the “regime” in Stepanakert.
According to media reports, Armenia called Russian peacekeepers about the current situation, but they did not answer the call.
