The work on the detection and seizure of weapons and ammunition abandoned by Armenian armed forces during the Patriotic War in the territories of Azerbaijan liberated from occupation continues.

Officers of the Gubadli district police department regularly conduct raids on battlefields, inspect trenches and fortifications of the enemy, the Interior Ministry's press service told Caliber.Az.

"During the next raid, two hand grenades, 4 shells, over 5,000 rounds of ammunition of different calibre, etc. were found and seized," the Interior Ministry said.

Meanwhile, Azerbaijani police officers have discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition in the city of Khankendi as part of comprehensive measures.

During the operation, law enforcement officers seized an assault rifle, a machine gun, five hand grenades, 3,589 cartridges of various calibres, and two fuses for hand grenades.

On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan launched anti-terror measures to disable Armenian army forces and military infrastructure in the Karabakh region. The operation came on the heels of the intensifying Armenian attacks on the Azerbaijani positions and a mine incident in the Khojavand district that killed four Azerbaijani police officers and two road construction workers.

By the time of the cessation of hostilities on September 20, the Azerbaijani military disabled artillery systems, radio-electronic warfare, military equipment, ammunition depots, military strongholds, and shelters of the Armenian army formations stationed in the Karabakh region.

The counter-terrorism measures concluded after the Armenian military formations agreed to full disarmament by laying down arms, handing over the military hardware, and withdrawing from their battle positions and military outposts.

Amenia's armed forces were also obligated to leave Azerbaijani territory, and illegal Armenian armed groups were to be disbanded.
