From 20:00, the fire has almost stopped in all directions, no significant incidents have happened.
The information circulating on the Internet that some Armenian settlements have gone under Azerbaijani control is an absolute lie. In this regard, once again we call to refrain from spreading similar news and follow exclusively official news.
As of 18:00, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border remains tense. In the period between 15:00 and 17:00, along the entire border from Sotk to Goris, the enemy continued intensive missile attacks, during which peaceful settlements were also targeted. Attack drones have been widely used.
Around 4:40 p.m., the military unit stationed in the direction of Sotk was hit by missiles, as a result of which a fire broke out. At this moment it has been put out.
Since 17:00, the intensity of the enemy's missisle artillery attacks in the indicated direction has weakened. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia is taking all necessary measures to adequately respond to the enemy.
The confirmed number of the dead of the Armenian side is 105. It was announced today by the Prime Minister of the Republic. For information about the wounded, call the Ministry of Defence hotline 1-28.
The Ministry of Defence will continue to regularly make official statements on the development of the situation.
At 15:00, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border became extremely tense again. Starting 13:00 along the entire border line from Sotk to Goris, the enemy resumed intensive missile and artillery shelling, also targeting peaceful settlements, using attack drones.
It is worth noting that the building and vehicle of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation carrying out a humanitarian mission in the combat zone were also hit by heavy artillery. This is another evidence that, despite the statements of official Baku, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces does not distinguish between targets.
Along with the missile strikes, the Azerbaijani subdivisions have also resumed attempts to advance their positions. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia is taking all necessary measures to adequately respond to the enemy.
Against the backdrop of Azerbaijani military aggression, there have been frequent cases when many citizens and private companies, trying to be useful to servicemen injured in the course of hostilities, purchase various medicines and food products on their own initiative to transfer them to military hospitals.
The Ministry of Defence highly appreciates the willingness of our fellow citizens to be as useful to the army as possible. Nevertheless, we assure you that all hospitals are equipped with everything necessary for the full organization of the treatment of servicemen.

This statement of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan is an absolute nonsense, because since midnight, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have not stopped shelling Armenian positions, settlements and civilian i
This lie once again proves that Azerbaijan's military-political leadership deeply disregards the opinion of the international community, spreading lies about Armenia's allegedly aggressive actions.
The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia declares that it exclusively responded to the large-scale aggression unleashed by official Baku.
