Remains of another fallen soldier found during Artsakh search operations

An Artsakh search and rescue team on Friday found the remains of another fallen soldier as a result of the search operations for casualties of the 2020 Artsakh war.

The remains were retrieved from the Azerbaijani-occupied Varanda (Fizuli) region, the State Service of Emergency Situations said.

The body is yet to be identified through a forensic medical examination. The future directions of the search operations will be communicated further, it noted.

Since the end of hostilities in November 2020, a total of 1,709  bodies of Armenian troops and civilians have been found and recovered from the Artsakh territories occupied by Azerbaijan.
