On November 13, an Armenian terrorist threw a grenade at a post with Azerbaijani and Russian servicemen in the village of Dashalti. He was detained by the Russian peacekeepers temporarily stationed in Azerbaijan.
“We saw an attack by an Armenian terrorist against Azerbaijani servicemen and Russian peacekeepers. I am absolutely convinced that the purpose of this was to provoke a firefight, which would've resulted in casualties from both Azerbaijani and Russian sides,” Korotchenko said.
