The Azerbaijani troops shelled the border village of Khachik, and a car of the head of the rural community was damaged, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of Armenia reports today. The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan called the information not corresponding to the reality.

As a result, the car of the head of the rural community was damaged,” the publication “Aysor.Am” quoted the Armenian MoD as reporting.

The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan called unreliable the information about the shelling attack on the village. “Our units did not open fire in the indicated direction,” the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijani announced as quoted by the publication “Report”.
