As a result of the provocation of the Armenian side, which began on September 27, and the shelling of settlements, 11 civilians were killed, including two children.
The statement came from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in an exclusive interview with Russia's Rossiya 1 channel.
The President noted that there are casualties among the military: “We were forced to respond adequately to the occupier and thus protect our people and our land. Heavy fighting has been going on for three days now, as a result of which the Azerbaijani army liberated several occupied settlements and strategic heights in different directions. Active battles continue now. "
