Nagorno-Karabakh accused Azerbaijan of shelling a villager

A resident of the village of Khramort was shelled from the Azerbaijani side while doing his agricultural works; the bullets damaged his tractor, the Nagorno-Karabakh police have informed.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that after the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, residents of border villages have repeatedly reported about shelling conducted from the Azerbaijani side. Thus, on February 11, it became known that Azerbaijani militaries shelled residential buildings in the communities of Tagavard and Karmir Shuka (Krasny Bazar), where windows, roofs and walls were damaged. The village of Krasny Bazar is shelled daily from the Azerbaijani side, despite the presence of peacemakers; and local residents are afraid of taking their children to the kindergarten, villagers told the "Caucasian Knot" on February 8.

The information about the shelling of the above resident of the village of Khramort by Azerbaijani militaries was received by the Askeran ROVD (District Interior Division) on February 15, the press service of the Nagorno-Karabakh police has reported.

The ROVD staff found out that at about 3:30 p.m. in the village, a local resident, Khnapat K., born in 1983, was doing his agricultural works in his tractor, when he was shelled from the adjacent Azerbaijani position. As a result, the rear tire of the tractor was damaged.
