Baku: On February 13, in response to the provocation committed by the Armenian armed forces yesterday, units of the State Border Service carried out a 'revenge operation'. As a result of the operation, the combat post near the Nerkin-And residential settlement in the Gafan district, where an Azerbaijani soldier was fired upon by the Armenian armed forces, was completely destroyed, and the fighting positions were silenced, the State Border Service told AZERTAC. There is information available regarding serious losses among the personnel of the destroyed combat post.
