Khankandi operation uncovers Armenian weapons cache VIDEO from Azerbaijan’s Interior Ministry

During ongoing comprehensive measures, Azerbaijani police have uncovered a significant cache of weapons and ammunition in the city of Khankandi.

The seizure on July 6-12 included 9 automatic rifles, 2 pistols, 8 hand grenades, 4 rifles, 2 mines, 7 fuses, 7 bayonet knives, and 602 cartridges of various calibers, the Interior Ministry's press service told Caliber.Az.

In a related operation, a machine gun, an automatic rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun were found in the village of Boyuk Galadarasi in the city of Shusha.

Khankandi, a city with strategic significance, has been a focal point for security measures following recent conflicts in the region. The diligent efforts of law enforcement personnel underscore the government's determination to ensure stability and peace for residents of Khankandi and surrounding areas.

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.
