Azerbaijani soldier was killed and another wounded in an attack by Armenian separatist guerrillas in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Azerbaijani troops suffered casualties just weeks after the two sides signed a full-fledged ceasefire agreement aimed at ending the conflict.

Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said in a statement on Monday that "yesterday an illegal armed group from Armenia attacked an Azeri military outpost in the village of Agdam in the Khojabend area of ​​Karabakh." One of our soldiers was killed and another was wounded.

The Azerbaijani ministry said in a statement that Azerbaijani forces later retaliated and eliminated all members of the Armenian armed group. The ministry said in a statement that an armed group of six people attacked the Azerbaijani army.

Meanwhile, news agency Reuters says Armenian authorities have reported no such incident.
