Situation remains the same on the Karabakh frontline: Azerbaijan uses mortars and grenade launchers
On the night of April 11, the situation on the Line of Contact between Karabakh and Azerbaijani armed forces remained unchanged, says the Defense Ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR). Azerbaijani troops violated the ceasefire in some sections of the Line of Contact (LoC), using firearms and mortars. In particular, Azerbaijan shelled the Armenian positions stationed in the southern and northern directions of the LoC, using 60mm mortars (two shots) and AGS-17 grenade launchers (14 shots). The advance forces of the NKR Defense Ministry mainly refrained from retaliating and continued to carry out their military tasks. “On April 11, Azerbaijan will be allowed to continue search for the bodies of killed soldiers according to a preliminary agreement between the sides. We also remind that the fate of one soldier of the Nagorno-Karabakh army remained unknown, and the International Committee of the Red Cross is conducting an inquiry” the NKR Defense Ministry said. On Sunday, Apil 10, the bodies of 18 Armenians declared missing after the four-day deadly skirmishes on the Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line of Contact were handed over to the Armenian side, but the fate one soldier is still unknown.
