On September 27, at about 06:00, the Armenian side committed another aggression against Azerbaijan shelling the positions of the Azerbaijan Army along the entire length of the front and Azerbaijani human settlements located in the frontline zone with large-calibre weapons, mortars, and artillery mounts of various calibres. As a result of military aggression by the Armenian Army on September 27-29, Azerbaijan's Terter, Aghdam, Jabrayil regions, as well as Goranboy, Dashkesen, and Naftalan regions were subjected to the artillery fire by the Armenian Armed Forces.
