Fire in forest area far away from combat zone put out
Violating the humanitarian ceasefire rudely, the Armenian armed forces continue shelling Azerbaijani dense residential areas, civilian infrastructure, including private and apartment buildings using heavy artillery installations and missiles, as well as committing ecological terror.
As reported, fire broke out in forest area with difficult terrain in Dashkasan district that is far away from the combat zone, due to the shelling of the area from the territory of the Republic of Armenia. The fire was extinguished and prevented from spreading to the wider area and dense forest area, thanks to the efforts of the relevant forces of the State Fire Protection Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and employees of the Regional forestry centre of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources involved in the area for firefighting.
