    Nagorno-Karabakh claims 2 of its soldiers killed


    YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) -- The defense ministry of the separatist
    Nagorno-Karabakh region says two of its soldiers have been killed
    while repelling Azerbaijani infiltrators.

    Nagorno-Karabakh is in Azerbaijan but has been under the control of
    local ethnic Armenian forces and Armenian soldiers since 1994 when a
    cease-fire ended six years of fighting. Despite the cease-fire, both
    sides frequently claim attacks by the other.

    A statement from the Nagorno-Karabakh ministry said infiltrators
    crossed the buffer zone separating the region from the rest of
    Azerbaijan before dawn Saturday. Two regional soldiers were killed and
    the infiltrators suffered unspecified losses before turning back, it
    said.

    The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry denied the claim.
