“At present, Armenian armed forces are shelling the Beylagan, Barda, and Terter cities,” the Ministry said.

The Ministry added that the technical means of the radar systems of the Air Defense Forces of Azerbaijan had recorded the launch of rockets fired at Azerbaijan from the starting positions in the Jermuk, Gafan and Berd regions of Armenia.

“For several days, the enemy, pinned down along the entire frontline, has been systematically launching missile strikes from the territory of Armenia against the densely populated regions of Azerbaijan and civilian infrastructure on the territory of Azerbaijan,” the Ministry stated.

The Ministry also added that such irresponsible and criminal actions of Armenia purposefully force Azerbaijan to retaliate. (ILKHA)
