In the period of June 1-7, the Azerbaijan's armed forces violated ceasefire 700 times. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to the MoD, the violation of the ceasefire was committed in the form of shelling positions of the armed forces of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Units of the Azerbaijan's armed forces located at the contact line with Karabakh and Armenian armed forces fired more than six thousand shots of small arms.
