Two Nagorno-Karabakh servicemen perish

This morning, Azerbaijan accused Armenian servicemen of 128 bombardments.

In its turn, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) has reported a restart of shelling by the Azerbaijani party in the northerly direction (Talysh). As a result of these attacks, two servicemen of the NKR's Defence Army – Gagik Mnatsakanovich Movsisyan, born in 1997, and Vazgen Genrikhovich Arutyunyan, born in 1968, – were mortally wounded, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told at the MoD.

Over the past 24 hours, the MoD has added, the Azerbaijani part violated the ceasefire agreement along the entire contact line by using, apart from small arms of various types, also 60- and 82-mm mortars.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that at night of April 2, the situation in the Karabakh conflict zone was escalated. The parties to the conflict were engaged in combat actions with the use of tanks, multiple launch rocket systems, and aircrafts, which resulted in a large number of victims. On April 5, the sides to the conflict declared a truce; however, they periodically accuse each other of violation of agreements on ceasefire.
