Today is 9th anniversary of four-day war 

ArmInfo. Armenia remembers the victims of the April War of 2016. Nine years ago, on the night of April 2, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces committed large-scale military  aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh.

The war was accompanied by war crimes, gross violations of the laws  and customs of war, as well as the norms of international  humanitarian law.

The April military actions were considered the largest-scale since  the ceasefire agreement of May 1994.  During the hostilities from  April 2 to 5, all Armenian military units, including artillerymen,  tank crews and anti-tank units, showed excellent performance. During  the intense fighting, the Artsakh Defense Army units destroyed 2  Azerbaijani helicopters attacking the positions of the Armenian side,  26 tanks, as well as 14 drones, 1 BM-21 ("Grad") rocket and artillery  installation, 4 infantry fighting vehicles and 1 engineering  installation.

During the fighting on the contact line, the Armenian side lost 64  servicemen, 13 volunteers, 4 civilians, more than 120 people were  wounded, another 9 servicemen died after the cessation of the active  phase of hostilities, in the period up to April 13, several died  later in hospitals.

Based on the State Department data presented on May 16 in Vienna in  the same year, it becomes clear that in addition to 81 losses on the  Armenian side, about 270 Azerbaijanis died. At the same time,  analysts of the international research group Bellingcat estimated  Baku's losses at 400-500 killed soldiers.
