Armenian Armed Forces solder Samvel Alaverdyan was killed Wednesday when Azerbaijani forces opened fire at Armenian positions, Armenia’s Defense Ministry announced.
The incident took place in the Yeraskh section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border at around 10:30 a.m. local time when, according to the Armenian defense ministry, Azerbaijani armed forces attempted to engage in fortification works with the use of engineering equipment aimed at advancing their military positions.
Since May 12, some 1,000 Azerbaijani soldiers have set up positions within Armenian proper after they breached the border with Azerbaijan and advanced their positions in Armenia’s Syunik and Gegharkunik provinces.
Alaverdyan becomes the second Armenian soldier to be killed by Azerbaijani forces in the past two months, as the border standoff between Armenia and Azerbaijan escalates.
