Azerbaijan said on Monday that Armenian forces fired at its military positions in the country's western Lachin region overnight.
A statement from the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said that its forces near the villages of Zabukh and Jaghazur were fired upon by Armenian forces late Sunday between 22:00 and 22:10 local time (18:00GMT and 18:10GMT).
“We would like to inform you that in recent days, units of Armenia’s Armed Forces have fired on our positions several times, and all these cases have been registered accordingly,” the statement added.
Armenia's Defense Ministry later denied Baku's statement, claiming it "doesn't correspond to reality."
The incident is the first of its kind to be reported by Baku since September 2024.
Relations between Baku and Yerevan have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Karabakh—a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan—and seven adjacent regions, including Lachin.
Most of the territory was liberated by Azerbaijan during a 44-day war in the fall of 2020, which ended after a Russian-brokered peace agreement that opened the door to normalization talks and the demarcation of their border.
In September 2023, Azerbaijan established full sovereignty in Karabakh following an "anti-terrorist operation" after which separatist forces in the region surrendered.
