Azerbaijan retains tension at contact line

Over 1350 instances of ceasefire violation by the Azerbaijani armed forces were reported in October at the line of contact with Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, with 200 violations reported on the border with Armenia, and 1150 on the border with Nagorno Karabakh.
