Numerous public and private facilities, including civil infrastructure, were severely damaged as a result of the offensive, 232 houses, 99 power transmission line poles, three electric power substations, kilometers of water and gas pipes were destroyed.

The Armenian Armed Forces launched the guided-missiles at civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals and places of worship. Large-caliber artillery shells fell during the prayer service in one of the mosques.
