Baku, November 2, AZERTAC
During the day on November 1, units of the Armenian armed forces attempted to attack the Zangilan site of the Armenia-Azerbaijan state border, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry told AZERTAC.
“The enemy fired at the positions of our units using mortars and various large-caliber weapons in order to seize a number of favorable high grounds in this direction.
The intention of the enemy to attack was detected in time by our units and as a result of the successful operation, the opposite side suffered heavy losses.
During the battle, the enemy, which lost about 30 personnel was forced to retreat to the territory of Armenia.
Due to the vigilance of our units’ military personnel, the enemy's Su-25 attack aircraft, which attacked our positions from the air, was also shot down,” the ministry said.
