"Restoration of houses destroyed by enemy shelling began in Aghdam district," Mammadov said. "Five houses were completely burnt down and now are being rebuilt."

Some 72 private residential houses, one school, one building of rural executive power, a mosque, a substation, which supplies electricity to 11 villages were damaged as a result of the Armenian shelling, he said.

The heads of executive power of the Terter and Goranboy districts Mustagim Mammadov and Nizamaddin Guliyev told Trend that shots were heard from time to time on the night of Apr. 9.

Some 162 private houses in Azerbaijan`s Terter district were damaged as a result of the shelling, some 22 of them were completely destroyed, while 50 private houses were also damaged in the Tapgaragoyunlu village of the country`s Goranboy district, according to them.

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. Ignoring the agreement, the Armenian side again started violating the ceasefire.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
