Baku insists that the Armenian side opened fire in the direction of the Kelbajar district, Yerevan denies.
“Units of the Armenian Armed Forces, without any justification, opened fire in the direction of Azerbaijani positions located near the village of Zailik in the Kelbajar district,” the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense stated, noting that there are no casualties or wounded.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense has denied the report circulated by the Azerbaijani side.
“The report circulated by the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense on December 8, according to which the RA Armed Forces shelled Azerbaijani Armed Forces combat positions located in the eastern direction of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, is disinformation. The Armenian side did not open fire in the direction of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces,” the RA Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
