Gunfire erupts at the Armenian border.

The Armenian Defense Ministry announced on February 13 that two soldiers were killed and several others wounded in an attack at a combat outpost near the village of Nerkin Hand, according to Reuters.

Azerbaijani border guards said they carried out a retaliatory operation following a provocation the previous day by Armenian forces. Azerbaijan stated it would respond more severely and decisively if further provocations occurred.

"The Armenian military and political leadership bears full responsibility for this incident," according to Azerbaijani forces. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense accused Armenian forces of firing at Azerbaijani positions along the border on the evening of February 12. Armenia denied the allegations, stating that the incident did not occur.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been in conflict for decades over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is widely recognized as Azerbaijani territory but is administered by a majority Armenian population. The two sides have fought two wars, in the 1990s and again in 2020.

Armenia has officially joined the court that issued the arrest warrant for President Putin.

In September 2023, Azerbaijan regained control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region after a swift military operation, leading to the evacuation of almost all Armenian residents and the start of peace treaty negotiations. Since the dialogue began, the border situation has been largely peaceful.

However, dialogue in recent months is believed to have stalled as both sides accuse each other of undermining the diplomatic process.
