YEREVAN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th October, 2020) The forces of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) said on Sunday that they had downed two Azerbaijani drones in the breakaway region's airspace amid a new ceasefire.
A new truce came into force at 20:00 GMT this Saturday, but the sides have immediately blamed each other for violating it.
"Despite the new agreement on a humanitarian ceasefire, the enemy's unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs] tried to illegally enter the airspace of Artsakh today. Having successfully detected the enemy drones, the defense forces' air defense means shot down two UAVs," a statement, published on Facebook, said.
Hostilities on the contact line in Nagorno-Karabakh have been ongoing since September 27, with Yerevan and Baku accusing each other of starting the firing.
