The Azerbaijani Army has occupied eight villages in the Djebrail, Zangilan and Gubadli Districts of Azerbaijan, President Ilham Aliev has stated on the Twitter. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence (MoD) has accused Armenia of shelling the city of Gubadli, which is controlled by Azerbaijani militaries.
