ArmInfo. Fierce battles were fought along the entire line of contact of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani troops, the enemy tried to attack again in the northern and southern directions under artillery, air and UAV fire. Representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan stated this on September 29 during a briefing.

"The fighting continues. I would like to say that yesterday, the territory of Armenia was also subjected to actions by the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan. And today the aviation and UAVs of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan have struck at Vardenis, including civilians. We published a video minutes earlier of how it is burning a civilian bus that was hit. Aviation was used against the positions of the RA Armed Forces. At the moment we have no losses in this direction, the fighting continues. A tough response will be given, "Hovhannisyan said, adding that the situation is changing rapidly.

He also did not comment on situations about new enemy clusters. "In fact, the Republic of Armenia was shelled from the first minutes, and this is not news. It does not matter in which directions, the fact itself is important," the representative of the RA Defense Ministry said. He also denied the information of the AR Armed Forces about the murder of high-ranking Armenian military and the complete destruction of the military unit in Martuny.
