Azerbaijan claims to have destroyed Armenian S-300 in Nagorno-Karabakh

The Azerbaijani military on Wednesday announced that it had destroyed an Armenian S-300 missile system in Nagorno-Karabakh. Baku also claimed that at least 2,700 Armenian troops had been killed and wounded in the recent clashes.

“Yesterday, during the fighting on the territory of Shushakend, in the Khojavend district [the line of contact in Karabakh], an enemy S-300 anti-aircraft missile system was disabled”, the ministry said.

The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry previously said it had “completely destroyed” an Armenian regiment during the clashes, which Yerevan rejected as fake news.
