Today, on October 1, two journalists from the French publication Le Monde, who were injured by Azerbaijani shelling in Martuni, underwent surgery thanks to the efforts of Artsakh doctors, as reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Artsakh.

The condition of journalist Alen Kavali is assessed as severely unstable, while Raphael Yagobzade's condition is considered moderately serious.

The government of the Republic of Artsakh will facilitate the transfer of the injured journalists from Stepanakert to Yerevan. Communication regarding this matter is established with the French embassy in Armenia.

A five-member filming crew from CivilNet has also come under Grad artillery fire.
