On September 28, the personnel of the "Hovaz-1" combat position of the defense zone, led by the position commander, junior sergeant Hayk Smoyan, entered the battle against the enemy's attacking groups and resisted them, causing losses.
Assessing the situation, junior sergeant Hayk Smoyan decided that the fighting personnel should occupy the hiding places in the position.
By personally searching the area while assessing the situation, he allowed enemy troops to penetrate into the area.
Then, due to covert actions, Armenian soldiers block the enemy and, as a result of sergeant's literate and skillful actions, organize an attack, during which the enemy, leaving the bodies of 9 servicemen in the area, is thrown back, said the RA Defense Ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan.
