"On September 2, between 16:00 p.m. [12:00 GMT] and 16:10 p.m., Azerbaijani armed forces units fired from fire arms towards the Armenian combat outposts nearby Norabak," the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

The latest serious escalation between the two countries took place in September 2022, with both Baku and Yerevan reporting dozens of its soldiers killed.
