The RA Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan wrote on his Facebook page: "The Azerbaijani side again shelled the civilian settlements of the Tavush region of Armenia today.
Yesterday in the same civilian settlements the independent fact-finding work of the Human Rights Defender's staff recorded that the shelling was carried out mostly with the same projectiles. There is all the evidence to suggest that the shelling of peaceful settlements is targeted.
Yesterday we recorded on the spot that these projectiles, falling on the target, immediately explode and turn into many fragments of different sizes, each of which can take human lives or amputate them. I'm not even talking about damaging property, especially houses.
It is an absolutely reprehensible act not only to shell civilian settlements, but also to do it with this type of projectile", the ombudsman wrote.
