By the information, in several minutes of fire exchange, Shamilov, continuing the fire, raised on attack. In the result, he managed to terminate two soldiers. Shamilov died.

The enemy managed to take the killed soldiers from the fire exchange zone, while Shamilov's body was left near positions of the Armenian armed forces and the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan tries to get him out of there.

At the same time, Sabiroghlu refuted information of Armenian mass medias that Azerbaijani army divisions tried to cross the contact line and noted that the armed incident occurred for the reason of the violation of ceasefire regime by the Armenian side.
