Arch-foes Armenia and Azerbaijan on Sunday traded accusations of launching a military offensive using artillery fire along their shared border, with Baku reporting two troops killed.
Azerbaijan’s defense ministry said Armenia’s “offensive” from its northern Tovuz region was met with a “counterstrike” and retreated.
“Two Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and five more wounded,” it added.
Yerevan, on its part, accused Baku of “using artillery in an attack aimed at capturing (Armenian) positions.”
