Azerbaijani border guard wounded as a result of Armenian provocation

On April 10 at about 15:20, the fact of violation of the state border by two persons who drove about 200 cattle from the direction of the village of Nerkin Khndzoresk in Armenia 300 metres deep into the territory of Azerbaijan was registered in the service area of the border guard post of the separate border division "Gubadli" of the border troops of the State Border Guard Service (SBS) in the Jijimli settlement of the Gubadli district.

The State Border Service has told Caliber.Az that while trying to prevent the violation of the state border, the border guard was shot at from the opposite side from the combat post of the Armenian Armed Forces, as a result of which Senior Lieutenant Rovshan Mammadov was wounded.

The serviceman was immediately evacuated to a medical facility.

Currently, the operational situation is stable and under the control of Azerbaijan Army units.

The responsibility for this regular provocation by the Armenian side falls entirely on the military-political leadership of Armenia.
