Armenians have fired shots at a tractor working in a field in Chiragli village in Agdam region of Azerbaijan. Fortunately, the incident caused no casualties.

The tractor was working 100 meters from the line of contact. Two bullets hit the wheel assembly and the rest hit the radiator and engine completely disabling the tractor. The damage has been estimated at 4,000 manat.

According to villagers, the locals are often subject to fire from the Armenian side while working in the fields as the land is under the control of the Armenian army.

"Even if scary, we are forced to work because the land feeds us," villagers working on the field said.

Armenian armed forces have shelled residential settlements in Agdam on numerous occasions during the recent months.
