Intelligence received information that a large amount of phosphorus cargo was brought to the defense units of the 3rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 37th Rifle Division of the 1st General Army of the Armenian Armed Forces in the direction of the occupied Khojavend. The Defense Ministry issued a statement in this regard. "It is assumed that the purpose of the enemy in bringing phosphorus-containing ammunition to these areas is primarily to use it against units of the Azerbaijani Army.
On the other hand, it is to spread misinformation that the ammunition was allegedly scattered by our units. Already on October 30, the Armenian side spread false and misleading information about the alleged use of white phosphorus weapons by the Azerbaijani Army, thus laying the groundwork for future provocations. We reiterate that the Azerbaijani Army does not have any banned ammunition, "the statement said.
