They were fired unknown: in Nagorny Karabakh the military of the Russian Federation was killed

In the territory of Nagorny Karabakh shots were fired in the direction of Russian peacekeepers. The peacekeepers were ambushed when they returned from patrols to the location. The Ministry of Defense of Russia spoke about an emergency that happened on the day of the two -day special operation of Azerbaijan against armed groups in Nagorny Karabakh. The representative of the President of Azerbaijan said that the shooting had stopped and members of the groups had arranged weapons.

However, several deadly shots were fired in the Armenian enclave in the direction of Russian peacekeepers. The press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in a post at the Telegram channel told this. Russian military officials indicated that the event happened not far from the settlement of Gianyatag (or basting) in Nagorny Karabakh. Metrobes were at the observation post-the number of people is not indicated. When they returned from the post, they were fired from small arms.

As a result of the shelling, the military was killed. Law enforcement officers from the Russian Federation and Azerbaijan will be investigating the case, they assure the Defense Ministry. Other details of the event are not given. It should be noted that the so-called "Russian peacekeeping contingent" appeared on the territory of Azerbaijan in 2020 after the 44-day Second Karabakh War.

According to the results of the negotiations in which Russia was actively involved, military Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the number of 1960 people, 90 armored vehicles and other military equipment appeared in Nagorno -Karabas. The place of base of the contingent is near the Stepanakhert airport. The duration of stay is five years with the possibility of prolonging the next five, unless there are objections. From Stepanacket to the place of death of the Russian military - about 26 km.

On September 19, 2023, the exacerbation in Nagorno -Karabakh became known. At first, the media reported the use of small arms by Armenians, who, in addition, undermined a military truck. After that, the Azerbaijan authorities announced an anti -terrorist operation that lasted less than two days. On September 20, the insurgents stopped resistance and guaranteed that they would transfer Azerbaijani Rifle, as well as, if any, heavy weapons.

The Azerbaijan Government has stated that Armenian integrates into the country's public life and concluded a peace treaty with Armenia. We remind that Ukrainian officials responded to the war in Nagorny Karabakh. In particular, NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov explained that the activity of Azerbaijan indicates the weakening of Russia in the Caucasus region. Meanwhile, 300 km north of Nagorny Karabakh - in Chechnya - the Kremlin can get a new "headache".
