Azerbaijan's Defence Ministry refutes Armenian allegations of cross-border fire

Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defence has categorically rejected recent allegations by the Armenian Ministry of Defence, describing them as entirely false and devoid of factual basis.

The Armenian side claimed that on August 4, at approximately 13:10 local time, units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces allegedly opened fire on an excavator operating in Armenia’s Syunik province — a claim Azerbaijan firmly denies, Caliber.Az reports, citing Azerbaijan’s Defence Ministry.

In an official statement the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence dismissed the accusations, asserting that no shots were fired by Azerbaijani forces in the direction mentioned.
