According to the statement, Azerbaijani soldier Mammadov Elshan Vaqif oglu was martyred and three other soldiers received light shrapnel wounds as Armenian armed units used large-caliber weapons as well as 82-mm mortar launchers.
“First aid was provided to them. They are in satisfactory condition. The Defense Ministry leadership extends deep condolences to the family of the martyr and wishes them patience. We promise that the blood of our martyrs will not go in vain as it never did before. The Armed Forces retaliated with rocket and artillery strikes against the enemy, killing four [Armenian] soldiers and wounding 16 more. 10 of them are in serious condition. Subunits of the Armed Forces fully control the operational conditions along the entire line of contact. Any attack by the enemy is decisively intercepted with superior weapons.
