The NKR Ministry of Defense reports that Line of Contact remained “relatively calm” last night, with the exception of Azerbaijani rifle and machine gun fire in the southern and northeastern regions.

The ministry says that Artsakh Defense Forces did not respond to the Azerbaijani fire.

(Translating these ministry communiques, I naturally ask “calm relative to what?” Readers should ask the same. Since the ministry has been issuing these “relatively calm” communiques for the past several days, I will refrain from repeating them until the situation along the Line of Contact officially becomes “relatively agitated” – HG)
