On August 17, around 5:00 p.m., the Azerbaijani Armed Forces for the second time during the day violated the ceasefire in the Askeran region by opening fire from small arms on a harvester working in the fields of Sarushen community, NK Defence Army Reports.
“It is obvious that by regular ceasefire violations and attempts to disrupt grain harvesting, the Azerbaijani side seeks to deepen the humanitarian disaster in the Republic of Artsakh caused by the blockade”, NK Defence Army stated.
