On the night of 16 August, Azerbaijani armed forces units resorted to provocation in the Syunik province section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, particularly in the Sev Lich area, attempting to secure a positional advance.
Armenian position-holders carried out countermeasures, as a result of which the adversary was pushed back to its starting positions.
During the ensuing exchange of fire, the adversary suffered at least one casualty.
There are no casualties on the Armenian side.
