Another skirmish took place on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan, five were injured

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reported that its serviceman was seriously injured as a result of intensive shelling from Armenia in the Zod direction (Sotk, Gegharkunik region). The number of Armenian soldiers wounded in battles has grown to four, and there is no threat to their lives.

Yerevan claims that the conflict began with an attack by the Azerbaijani military on an ambulance. The Azerbaijani provocation at Sotk is aimed at nullifying the progress in the negotiation process after the Washington meeting and disrupting further dialogue, as Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted.
Baku stated that the units of the Armenian armed forces subjected the opposite positions of the Azerbaijani army to intensive fire, deliberately committing a provocation.
