ArmInfo.Along the entire line of contact of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani troops, battles were ongoing throughout the night and throughout the day, especially intensively in the northern and southern directions. Deputy Commander of the Artsakh Defense Army Artur Sargsyan stated this during a briefing.
At the same time, he added that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces used all the weapons available in their arsenal - UAVs, aviation, all available missile and artillery weapons. According to him, the enemy was particularly active in those areas where it had made small successes the day before, but having failed, they were thrown back to their original positions by Armenian units, which prevented their advance in all directions. He also added that the units of the Defense Army had successes during the battles, a number of offensive attacks by the enemy were repelled.
Sargsyan stated that the enemy, suffering failures on the battlefield, tried to barbarously recoup civilians by launching missile strikes on populated areas, a striking example of which is the shelling of Vardenis, as a result of which there were civilian casualties.
In his words, these actions of the enemy strengthen the determination of the Armenian side to oppose all the connivances of the enemy. “During today's operations, the enemy has lost: 17 tanks, 4 armored personnel carriers, 13 UAVs and about 500 personnel. Unfortunately, there were also losses from the Armenian side, the figures are being specified and data will be presented later, ”Sargsyan said.
He also noted that Turkish F-16s were spotted in the airspace of Artsakh.
