Currently, women and children are being evacuated from the village of Nerkin Hand in the Syunik region. This was stated in a conversation with News.am by the administrative head Khachatur Baghdasaryan.

“Starting from midnight, the enemy opened fire. Only from 7:00 to 8:30 in the morning was there a pause, but even now the intense gunfire continues,” noted Baghdasaryan.

It is recalled that from September 13, starting at 00:05, units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have been intensively firing towards Armenian positions in the directions of Vardenis, Sotk, Artanish, Ishkhanasar, Goris, and Kapan, using artillery and large-caliber firearms.

As of 08:00, there have been no changes in the situation at the border; the enemy continues to use artillery, mortars, drones, and large-caliber weapons, targeting both military and civilian infrastructures.
