BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:40 A.M.) – The Artsakh Defense Army (ADA) launched a counter-attack in southern Karabakh on Tuesday to retake the ground they lost to the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
According to the Armenian Ministry of Defense, the Artsakh Defense Army attacked the Azerbaijani defenses along the southern front-lines, resulting in some advances after heavy clashes on Tuesday.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense did not specify where the advances were made, but video footage of the attack was released and shared on YouTube.
The footage shows the destruction of enemy forces in southern Karabakh, and also shows the fighters taking a position repulsed from the Azerbaijani troops.
