YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS. The Defense Army of Artsakh is denying the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s report on Azeri troops having “captured 6 settlements” as disinformation.

“The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s report claiming the Azerbaijani army has captured 6 settlements is false. The abovementioned is another information provocation of the Azerbaijani propaganda machine,” the Artsakh Defense Army said.

In the early morning of September 27, the Azerbaijani military launched a massive attack on Artsakh using air force, missiles and tanks.  The Azerbaijani artillery strikes targeted civilian settlements, including Stepanakert city, which resulted in several civilians being killed. Schools were also bombed.
