Armenians shelling Azerbaijan
Armenian armed units are again shelling Azerbaijan`s Terter district, head of the executive power of the district Mustaqim Mammadov told on Apr. 6.
He said that after the agreement on the suspension of military operations reached Apr. 5, the situation on the contact line of the troops in the district was relatively quiet.

On the night of April 2, 2016, all the frontier positions of Azerbaijan were subjected to heavy fire from the Armenian side, which used large-caliber weapons, mortars and grenade launchers.

The armed clashes resulted in deaths and injuries among the Azerbaijani population.
Azerbaijan responded with a counter-attack, which led to liberation of several strategic heights and settlements.

Military operations were stopped on the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian armies on Apr. 5 at 12:00 (UTC/GMT + 4 hours) with the consent of the sides, Azerbaijan`s Defense Ministry earlier said.

"However, despite the full implementation of the agreement by the Azerbaijani side, the Armenians fired at the villages on the contact line in several directions using machine guns Apr. 6 at 3:00," Mammadov said. "The shelling continues. Azerbaijani armed forces give an adequate response to the enemy. We have no casualties."
