At noon on October 31, the movement of enemy military vehicles full of manpower in the direction of our positions was observed.
It turned out that an intelligence-sabotage group consisting of Armenian special forces tried to approach the line of defense of our troops in order to commit provocation.
With the first shot fired at the enemy, the vehicle was destroyed and the reconnaissance and sabotage group fell and began to flee. It was also observed that members of the group got into a second Kamaz car to leave the area. The car, which was full of armed servicemen, was also destroyed by a direct shot.
We present videos reflecting those moments.
* A recent rallying cry by the ethnic Armenian leader of Nagorno-Karabakh contained a startling admission: enemy troops were no more than five kilometres (three miles) from the mountain enclave’s second-largest city.
Emboldened by Turkish support, Azerbaijan has the upper hand in the bloodiest fighting in more than 25 years in the South Caucasus. In just over a month, it has retaken much of the land in and around Nagorno-Karabakh that it lost in the 1990s.
It now faces a difficult choice: advance on the symbolic city of Shusha – Shushi to Armenians – a staging post for an assault on the region’s largest city, Stepanakert. Or sever Armenia’s main supply corridor to the west.
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the highland region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory that had been part of Azerbaijan before the Soviet Union break-up, but primarily populated by ethnic Armenians, broke out in February 1988 after the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region announced its withdrawal from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1992-1994, tensions boiled over and exploded into large-scale military action for control over the enclave and seven adjacent territories after Azerbaijan lost control of them. Talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement have been ongoing since 1992 under the OSCE Minsk Group, led by its three co-chairs – Russia, France and the United States.
