The positions of the Azerbaijani troops at nameless heights in the Gadabay District came under fire coming from the direction of Armenia, the Azerbaijani MoD reports. The fire also came from the areas considered by Azerbaijan as its occupied territories.

In April 2016, after the aggravation in the Karabakh conflict zone, the parties to the conflict agreed to the truce, but the confrontation was not stopped.

The Azerbaijani MoD reported an almost complete absence of shelling attacks in the front zone only in the period from June 20 to July 17, 2019.
