Strange incursion attempt about 6 hours ago by Azerbaijan on Tavush border, Azeri’s suffered 2 dead and 5 wounded. No casualties on our side. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1021419.html

This incident doesn’t really make sense to me. It’s completely out of the blue and seems to have had little planning/preparation. Did they really expect to just drive a Jeep towards our positions in the open during the day and manage to succeed in attacking? And even if they did succeed, what would they do, destroy the outpost and fall back? Capture that single outpost and that’s the end of it? Was their anything more to it?



Anyway, Azerbaijan began shelling again half an hour ago. Looks like they’re trying to inflict casualties upon us to save face.

As far as I know, the 17 dead and 2 captured positions is just unfounded rumors being discussed in Azeri social media circles, there's no actual source for that and seems very unlikely. Our MOD has stated we are ready to capture new positions if necessary, but so far all we've said is that Azeri casualties are 3 dead, 4 wounded, and they've lost a jeep and UAV.

It appears that artillery fire exchanges continued throughout the night. Shushan Stepanyan (Artsakh MOD spokesperson) posted an hour ago saying that the Azeri's stopped firing for 2-3 hours, then resumed firing. Post: https://www.facebook.com/shushanstep...46914552011351 This is the latest info I've seen. When the shelling first began, she said that they were using artillery and a tank. I've seen videos of Azeri BTR-70's firing on our positions, so by tank she might have meant these and not an actual tank.

Unconfirmed videos of Azeri BTR-70's firing on our positions during the night:
First one (hard to see anything here) - https://twitter.com/Archer83Able/sta...284626944?s=20
Second one (much more intense, you can see multiple BTR-70's lighting up our positions) - https://twitter.com/Archer83Able/sta...173574656?s=20

Note that these videos were originally provided by a super nationalistic Azeri twitter account so he could be full of xxxx and these vids could just be from a nighttime training or something.
