War lurks again in Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijani Bayraktar TB2 drones attack Armenian fortified positions as part of operation Qisas (Vengance).
According to the Azerbaijani Government press release, the drone attacks on Armenian positions are in response to incursions of Armenian armed groups into Azeri territory.
On August 3, members of Armenian armed groups of the Artsakh Defense Army reportedly penetrated into the territory of Azerbaijan, where the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is temporarily located, violating the provisions of the Ceasefire Declaration of November 9, 2020 and committed an act of sabotage against units of the Azerbaijani army, where an Azerbaijani serviceman was reportedly killed.
In addition, elements of the Armenian armed groups reportedly tried to seize the Kyrghgiz hill, located in the mountain range covering the territory of the Kalbajar and Lachin regions, and establish new fighting positions there.
As a result of this situation, the military command in Baku launched the retaliatory operation «Qisas» (Vengance), whereby Turkish-designed Bayraktar TB2 drones (used with great success by Azerbaijan in the past and by Ukraine at present) were used to attack fortified positions and destroy Armenian war material.
