Azerbaijan destroyed a firing point of the Armenian armed forces, which was shelling the Azerbaijani positions in the Fuzuli-Khojavand direction of the front on May 31.

Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry reported that the Armenian army suffered losses.

The Armenian side constantly breaches the ceasefire and resorts to attempts of sabotage against Azerbaijan. Over the past 24 hours, Armenia’s armed forces, using large-caliber machine guns and mortars, have 120 times violated the ceasefire along the line of contact.

For more than two decades, Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a state of war following Yerevan’s aggression, ethnic cleansing policy and illegal territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia keeps under control over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions in a brutal war in the early 1990s.

Despite a fragile ceasefire agreement signed in 1994, Armenia keeps violating armistice with Azerbaijan.
