Armenian Army has been forced to retreat in various directions of the front, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry announced in a statement on Thursday.

“On the night of October from 14 to 15, the situation on the Aghdere-Aghdam and Fizuli-Hadrut-Jabrayil directions of the front remained tense as in the previous days,” the Ministry said.

The Ministry noted that at night, the units of the armed forces of Armenia had attempted to attack the positions of the Azerbaijan Army in several directions of the front.

“As a result of the successful actions of our troops, the enemy suffered serious losses and was forced to retreat in various directions of the front,” the Ministry underlined.

“As a result of the actions taken by the Azerbaijan Army, a large number of forces, two T-72 tanks, one Tor-M2KM Surface-to-air missile (SAM), four BM-21 Grad MLRS, one D-20, one D-30, and two D-1 gun-howitzers, as well as several UAVs and auto vehicles of the enemy were destroyed and disabled in different directions of the front.”

“According to the information received, the forces and equipment of the armed forces of Armenia temporarily located in the occupied territories were seriously destroyed and damaged. The enemy is facing a shortage of forces and running out of military equipment, weapons, and fuel,” the Ministry added.

Heavy fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces erupted in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region on September 27.

Azerbaijani and Armenian sides agreed to start substantive talks over Nagorno-Karabakh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday.

The ceasefire started at noon on October 10, according to a document agreed upon by Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian foreign ministers in Moscow.

However, Armenia has continued its attacks in violation of temporary humanitarian truce. (ILKHA)
