Azerbaijan opens cross-border gunfire at U.S.-affiliated plant's construction site in Armenian village

YEREVAN, JUNE 19, ARMENPRESS. The Azerbaijani forces have again opened cross-border gunfire at a U.S.-affiliated steel mill construction site in the Armenian village of Yeraskh, the ministry of defense said Monday.

“On June 19, at 1:25 p.m., the units of the Azerbaijani AF opened fire from different caliber small arms targeting the metallurgical plant in Yeraskh, which is being built with foreign investment,” the Ministry of Defense of Armenia said in a statement.

The construction site was again targeted by Azeri forces last week, resulting in two Indian workers getting shot and wounded.
