    The Nagorno-Karabakh military flatly denied on Thursday Azerbaijani
    media reports saying that five of its soldiers were killed and three
    others wounded in a skirmish with Azerbaijani forces.

    Azerbaijani news agencies claimed that Armenian forces suffered the
    casualties after they went on offensive in the Aghdam district east
    of Karabakh mostly occupied by them during the 1991-1994 war with
    Azerbaijan. They said one Azerbaijani soldier was also injured in
    the clash. Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry to comment.

    Karabakh's Defense Ministry was quick to deny the reports. A ministry
    statement described them as "yet another piece of disinformation
    spread by Baku's propaganda machine."

    AFP news agency quoted ministry spokesman Senor Hasratian as saying
    that Azerbaijani forces fired on Armenian positions overnight but
    that there were no casualties. "This is complete disinformation from
    the Azerbaijanis," he said.

    Armenian-Azerbaijani skirmishes remain a regular occurrence more
    than 15 years a Russian-mediated truce stopped the bloody war in
    Karabakh. Dozens of soldiers on both sides are reportedly killed in
    such incidents every year.
