The Armenian Ministry of Defense reports that Artsakh Defense Army troops last night fought defensive battles in the eastern, south-eastern, and southern directions.

In a small part of the front line in the eastern direction, due to tactical reasons, ADA forces withdrew, occupying more favorable areas for further combat operations.

This morning, the ADA inflicted heavy artillery fire on enemy military personnel attempting to advance in the southern direction, causing losses and forcing them to retreat to the starting positions.

ADA units also silenced Azerbaijani offensive activity in the northern direction.

The ministry reports that the Azerbaijani military continues its attempts to improve its tactical positions.
