An Azerbaijani State Border Guard Service unit preventing a violation of the state border was fired upon from an Armenian Armed Forces' combat post, wounding Senior Lieutenant Rovshan Mammadov, AzVision.az reports, referring to the Azerbaijani State Border Service.
On April 10, around 15:20, it was discovered that two individuals from the direction of Nerkin Khnzoresk village of Armenia, opposite the positions of the frontier troops of the State Border Service located in the Jijimli settlement, violated the state border, crossing approximately 300 meters into Azerbaijani territory, with about 200 heads of small livestock.
"The border guard of the Azerbaijani State Border Service preventing the violation of the state border was fired from a combat post of the Armenian Armed Forces, as a result of which Senior Lieutenant Rovshan Mammadov was wounded.
The serviceman was immediately evacuated to a medical facility.
At present, the operational conditions are stable and under the control of our units.
The responsibility for this regular provocation by the Armenian side falls entirely on the military-political leadership of Armenia," the statement of the State Border Service reads.
