Azerbaijan claims capture of eight villages in Karabakh conflict zone

The Azerbaijani Army has occupied eight villages in the Djebrail, Zangilan and Gubadli Districts of Azerbaijan, President Ilham Aliev has stated on the Twitter. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence (MoD) has accused Armenia of shelling the city of Gubadli, which is controlled by Azerbaijani militaries.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that by October 30, Azerbaijan had claimed the establishment of its control over nearly 200 dwelling settlements.

As of November 2, the number of settlements, the restoration of control over which Azerbaijan had announced since September 27, amounted to 201.

The Azerbaijani MoD has also refuted the shelling of settlements by the Azerbaijani Army and treated the reports about a downed aircraft of the Azerbaijani Air Force as disinformation.

At the same time, the MoD also announced the destruction of the enemy's manpower.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
