During the entire day they were unable to break through the front line. In some places they seemed to record some success, but our units were able to gain back the positions by a counter-attack. During the same period in the forests north of Hadrut our units continued searching and neutralizing the subversive groups. Some subversive groups fled, abandoning their cars, but clashes continue in some other villages’', Hovhannisyan said, adding that the works to detect and neutralize the subversive groups continue in Shekher, Jivanik and some other nearby villages.
