According to an announcement by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on September 19, 2023, two civilians were killed when a vehicle of the Azerbaijan Motor Roads Authority collided with a landmine planted by an Armenian military reconnaissance and destruction group for terrorist purposes. There was an accident and an accident that resulted in the death of a Interior Ministry soldier.

It has been decided that an 'anti-terrorist operation' will be launched to withdraw the troops and neutralize military infrastructure.

In a statement, the Ministry of Defense said it would 'ultimately restore constitutional order in the Republic of Azerbaijan' and that civilians and civilian infrastructure were not targeted, but rather to neutralize legitimate military targets. I am.

The official YouTube channel of the Azerbaijani army has released footage of attacks on Armenian military positions.
