Yet another Artaskh Defense Army soldier has died in as yet unspecified circumstances.

The Artsakh defense ministry reports that contract soldier Gor Khoudinyan (born 1991) died earlier today from a gunshot wound while serving at a norther military base.

Update: Armenia's Investigative Committee claims that, according to preliminary findings, Khoudinyan died when a bullet exploded while he was firing his machinegun to suppress Azerbaijani fire. An investigation has been launched.

26-year-old Khoudinyan, from the town of Vanadzor (Armenia), leaves behind a wife and a young daughter. A younger brother is a conscript soldier.
