YEREVAN, OCTOBER 6, ARMENPRESS. The October 5 – October 6 night proceeded “relatively calm” at the Artsakh-Azerbaijan line of contact, the Armenian Defense Ministry spokesperson Shushan Stepanyan said.

“After numerous calls by the international community for immediately ceasing hostilities in the NK conflict zone, the night was relatively calm at the border," she said. 

"The Azerbaijani military-political leadership will bear the entire responsibility in the event of future escalations,” Defense Ministry spokesperson Shushan Stepanyan said.

The Azerbaijani military, strongly backed by Turkey, launched a massive attack on Artsakh since September 27. 

Stepanakert City and other civilian towns were heavily bombarded with missile, artillery and air strikes, leading to destruction and civilian casualties. The Azeri forces used internationally prohibited cluster munitions in the attacks.
