The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reports that the units of the Azerbaijani army have taken "necessary local control measures" to "prevent the use of the dirt roads north of the Lachin Corridor for illegal activities, the escalation of the situation with the transfer of arms and ammunition by Armenia."

In the message, the country's Ministry of Defense claims again that "the transfer of personnel, ammunition, mines, as well as other military equipment" from Armenia to Artsakh, has intensified in recent days. 

"Armenian illegal armed organizations are building new roads along several routes, expanding old routes. For this purpose, military, engineering, and special equipment are used, and contract servicemen and local residents are used as labor force," the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan says.

The country's Foreign Ministry also declares that "the latest provocations of the Armenian side show that in order to prevent illegal activities in the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan, it is necessary to create a border checkpoint and a control point at the last point of the Lachin road."

It should be reminded that according to the information headquarters of Artsakh, the armed forces of Azerbaijan violated the line of contact in the Shushi-Lisagor sector on March 25 and secured a certain positional advance in the territory of Artsakh.
