Operations to Encircle and Neutralize Infiltrated Group Continue for 3 Hours: Ministry of Defense

Prior to the establishment of a humanitarian ceasefire, the Azerbaijani side attempted a diversion-reconnaissance infiltration toward the direction of Hadrout. Despite about 3 hours having passed since the ceasefire was established, operations to encircle and neutralize the infiltrated group are continuing. The other sectors of the front line remain relatively calm.

The actions of the Azerbaijani side appear to be motivated by a need to prove the recent statement made by the President of Azerbaijan regarding the capture of Hadrout.
