On August 18, at around 09:20 a.m., the Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire in the Martuni region, Nagorno-Karabakh, by opening fire from a rifle at a tractor working in the fields of Murishen community. This was reported by the Nagorno-Karabakh Ministry of Defense.
"It is obvious that by consistently obstructing the agricultural works, the Azerbaijani side aims to further deepen the humanitarian disaster caused in the Republic of Artsakh as a result of the blockade," the press service of the Nagorno-Karabakh Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
