Military Operation Against Infiltrated Saboteur-Intelligence Group Continues in Hadrut Region: Defense Army

Azerbaijani media outlets are spreading reports alleging that artillery strikes have hit Defense Army units retreating towards the Red Market, resulting in serious losses. According to the Artsakh Defense Army, the Azerbaijani propaganda machine is distorting reality, attempting to prove Ilham Aliyev's baseless claims about taking control of Hadrut.

“The Defense Army units continue to confidently execute their combat missions along the entire front. Simultaneously, the Defense Army successfully repulses attempts by Azerbaijani armed forces to conduct offensive operations, disregarding the humanitarian ceasefire regime. The military operation aimed at encircling and eliminating the infiltrated saboteur-intelligence group in the Hadrut direction continues. The operational situation is fully under the control of the Defense Army. We urge our compatriots to follow exclusively official news sources,” stated the Defense Army's announcement.
