The Artsakh Defense Army (ADA) has refuted earlier Azerbaijani press reports that Armenian forces resorted to an armed provocation in the Hadrut sector, resulting in the wounding of one Azerbaijani serviceman.

"The reality is that on December 11, at around 8:40 pm, the enemy attempted to attack one of the military positions located in the southern direction of the Artsakh Defense Army. As a result of the skirmish, three reservists received gunshot wounds of various degrees. Their lives are not in danger. An investigation is underway to find out the details of the case," the ADA reports.
