On the night of August 18, around 23:50, the Armenian armed forces, positioned near the Zarkend settlement in the Basarkechar district, opened fire on Azerbaijani military positions located in the direction of the Demirchidam settlement in the Kalbajar district.

In response, Azerbaijani army units promptly took retaliatory measures in the specified direction, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence.

Earlier that day, another incident occurred at around 19:30, when Armenian forces shelled Azerbaijani army positions in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. The attack, involving small arms, targeted Azerbaijani Army positions stationed near the Lakatagh settlement in the Julfa region.

Once again, Azerbaijani forces responded immediately to the provocation. The Ministry of Defence confirmed that adequate retaliatory measures were taken, though, as with the previous incident, specific details of the response were not disclosed.
