Troops Trade Gunfire With Armenian Forces
From Times Wire Reports
Azerbaijani and Armenian forces exchanged heavy gunfire and mortar shells at several points along their border in the most serious fighting in months.
Azerbaijan said one of its soldiers was killed and one seriously wounded. Armenian forces said several of their troops were wounded.
The two countries remain at odds over Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnic Armenian enclave within Azerbaijan. A cease-fire agreement was reached in 1994 after six years of fighting, and the enclave is now under the control of ethnic Armenians.
