Soldiers wounded in Azerbaijani gunfire under hospital care

The three soldiers wounded in the recent fighting in the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) frontline positions are in hospital; two are reported to be in a serious condition.

One of them shows positive dynamics, while the other’s condition is estimated as critical, a source from the military hospital of Stepanakert (Nagorno-Karabakh’s capital) told Tert.am.

“They are switched to a medical ventilation machine; we observe no changes in the third soldier’s condition either. He has been feeling normal since yesterday as he was wounded only in the leg,” said our interlocutor.

The servicemen, Robert N Gasparyan (48), Hambardzum J Harutyunyan (20) and Vahe G Badalyan (19), sustained fragmentary wounds in the heavy shelling provoked by Azerbaijani armed troops on Friday afternoon.

The Nagorno-Karabakh frontline military units later took retaliatory action to restrain the proactive attacks.
