Defense Ministry: The situation at the front line is relatively calm,  artillery was not used at night

ArmInfo. From 00:15 to the present, a relatively calm situation remains in the north-eastern section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, artillery was not used at night.  The press secretary of the Armenian Ministry of Defense  Shushan Stepanyan said this on her Facebook page.

"In the period from 22:20 to 23:00, the Armenian armed forces units  hit two enemy strike UAVs, the wreckage of which fell in the  interposition zone," she informed. On the afternoon of July 12, the  Azerbaijani Armed Forces, for reasons unknown to the Armenian side,  attempted to violate the state border of the Republic of Armenia in  the Tavush direction using an UAZ car. After warning the Armenian  side, leaving the UAZ car, the enemy troops returned to their  positions, and then, using artillery fire, tried to capture the  Armenian stronghold, but were thrown back by the fire, causing  casualties. All night from July 12 to July 13 and all yesterday, the  Azerbaijani Armed Forces subjected to intensive firing of 82 mm  mortars, tanks, 120 mm grenade launchers from the aforementioned  strong point. Also used shock drones.  The Armenian side warned the  enemy that all responsibility for further aggravation of the  situation would fall on the military-political leadership of  Azerbaijan.

According to an official statement of the Ministry of Defense of the  Republic of Azerbaijan on July 12, during the incident, four  servicemen of the Azerbaijani army were killed and several were  injured. But, the media already circulated information about 17 dead  from the Azerbaijani side. The Azerbaijani authorities are trying to  shift the responsibility for the situation to the Armenian side, and  baselessly accuse Yerevan of trying to draw a third party into the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The AR Ministry of Defense also reports a  violation of the ceasefire in the direction of Nakhichevan.

On July 14, the Azerbaijani defense department confirmed the death of  another 7 of its military, including Major General and Lieutenant  Colonel.

According to the latest information from the Armenian side, the  Armenian Armed Forces have four dead servicemen, two policemen and  three servicemen were injured.

On July 13, the enemy subjected to shelling the border communities of  Chinari and Aygepar, there were no casualties among the civilian  population, but the veins of the building were damaged. And on July  14, attacked the civilian infrastructure of the city of Byrd from  shock drones.

It is also worth noting that in this situation, the Turkish side took  an active position, expressing unconditional support for Baku.
