An Azerbaijani soldier was martyred on Friday in a cross-border clash between Armenian and Azerbaijani security forces.

According to the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Armenian forces violated the cease-fire and a soldier, named Ibrahim Manafov, was martyred in the cross-border shooting.

Azerbaijan and Armenia remain in dispute over the occupied Karabakh region. Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan in 1991 with Armenian military support, and a peace process has yet to be implemented.
