The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced that on the evening of September 11, units of the Armed Forces of Armenia fired at the positions of the Azerbaijani army on the state border between the countries. The Ministry of Defense of Armenia refutes this report, indicating that the situation on the border remains stable.

 "On the evening of September 11, units of the armed forces of Armenia from positions in the direction of the settlements of Jil Chiambik district and Khanazakh of Gory district, on the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border, fired from small arms at the positions of the Azerbaijan Army in the direction of the settlements of Novoivanivka Gedabek," the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan states.

 In addition, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan stated that members of "illegal Armenian armed formations" on the territory of the country, where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is temporarily stationed, fired at the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the direction of the settlement of Aggaya, Kalbajar District. It is reported that the units of the country "took adequate measures in response".

 The Ministry of Defense of Armenia denied this report, saying that Azerbaijan "continues to spread disinformation".

 "On the night of September 10 to 11, units of the Armed Forces of Armenia did not open fire on Azerbaijani positions located on the eastern part of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. The situation on the border is relatively stable and is under the full control of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia," the message reads.

 Relations between the former Soviet republics have been strained since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Nagorno-Karabakh (Upper Karabakh), an internationally recognized part of Azerbaijan, and seven surrounding districts.

 During the conflict in the fall of 2020, Azerbaijan liberated several cities and about 300 settlements and villages, which were occupied by Armenia for almost three decades.
