From 20:00, the fire has almost stopped in all directions, no significant incidents have happened. The information circulating on the Internet that some Armenian settlements have gone under Azerbaijani control is an absolute lie. In this regard, once again we call to refrain from spreading similar news and follow exclusively official news.

As of 18:00, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border remains tense. In the period between 15:00 and 17:00, along the entire border from Sotk to Goris, the enemy continued intensive missile attacks, during which peaceful settlements were also targeted. Attack drones have been widely used. Around 4:40 p.m., the military unit stationed in the direction of Sotk was hit by missiles, as a result of which a fire broke out. At this moment it has been put out. Since 17:00, the intensity of the enemy’s missisle artillery attacks in the indicated direction has weakened. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia is taking all necessary measures to adequately respond to the enemy. The confirmed number of the dead of the Armenian side is 105. It was announced today by the Prime Minister of the Republic. For information about the wounded, call the Ministry of Defence hotline 1-28. The Ministry of Defence will continue to regularly make official statements on the development of the situation.

At 15:00, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border became extremely tense again. Starting 13:00 along the entire border line from Sotk to Goris, the enemy resumed intensive missile and artillery shelling, also targeting peaceful settlements, using attack drones. It is worth noting that the building and vehicle of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation carrying out a humanitarian mission in the combat zone were also hit by heavy artillery. This is another evidence that, despite the statements of official Baku, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces does not distinguish between targets. Along with the missile strikes, the Azerbaijani subdivisions have also resumed attempts to advance their positions. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia is taking all necessary measures to adequately respond to the enemy. Against the backdrop of Azerbaijani military aggression, there have been frequent cases when many citizens and private companies, trying to be useful to servicemen injured in the course of hostilities, purchase various medicines and food products on their own initiative to transfer them to military hospitals. The Ministry of Defence highly appreciates the willingness of our fellow citizens to be as useful to the army as possible. Nevertheless, we assure you that all hospitals are equipped with everything necessary for the full organization of the treatment of servicemen.

Remaining consistent with its method of continuously spreading open lies, the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan, issued a statement claiming that on the night of September 13-14, Armenian subdivisions shelled the Azerbaijani positions. This is another disinformation, which, as we have already been convinced, serves as an information base to carry out military aggression against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. As it was mentioned, this night the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan, used attack drones targeting both military and civilian infrastructures, and in the morning also started intensive shelling, specifically targeting the combat positions and border settlements located in the direction of Jermuk and Verin Shorzha. The enemy receives a worthy response, the RA Armed Forces fully carry out the combat tasks assigned to them. As of 12:00, the intensity of the firefight in the other areas of the enemy’s aggression has significantly weakened. Taking into account that videos made by the Azerbaijani propaganda machine, including fake ones from the 44-day war, are widely spread on various social platforms, we urge you to refrain from referring to them in any way, especially by publishing them. The Ministry of Defence will continue to regularly make official statements on the developments of the situation.

On the night of September 13-14, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border continued to be tense. In particular, the enemy used attack drones in the direction of Jermuk. Although no significant incidents were recorded in the other directions of the aggression unleashed the previous day, today, starting at 08:00, the enemy resumed pre-offensive operations using artillery, mortars and large-caliber rifle weapons, particularly in the directions of Jermuk and Verin Shorzha. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia undertake adequate retaliatory actions, continuing to fully carry out the combat tasks set. In fact, in spite of the international community’s clear response to the situation, the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan continues its aggressive actions against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, targeting both military and civil infrastructures. The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia declares that the entire responsibility for the current situation and its further development lies with the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan.

As of 21:00 on September 13, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border remains tense. Nevertheless, the intensity of the shelling of Armenian positions, settlements and civil infrastructures, as well as the fire intensity of the positional battles in the direction of Nerkin Hand, Verin Shorzha, Artanish and Sotk, has significantly weakened. The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia continue to fully fulfill the combat tasks set before them, showing the necessary resistance to the enemy. The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, continuing its practice of blatant falsehood, trying to justify the large-scale aggression against the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, issued a statement that the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia violated the agreement to establish a cease-fire today, starting at 09:00, by shelling the Azerbaijani positions. This statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan is a clear nonsense, because since midnight, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have not stopped shelling Armenian positions, settlements and civil infrastructures for a single minute. This lie once again proves that Azerbaijan’s military-political leadership deeply disregards the opinion of the international community, spreading open lies about Armenia’s allegedly aggressive actions. The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia declares that Armenian soldiers exclusively responded to the large-scale aggression unleashed by the official Baku.
