Contradictory reports about incidents last night. Azerbaijan says it has captured one Armenian soldier; Armenia denies.

There are contradictory reports about incidents that may have happened last night in the Karabakh conflict zone.

Early this morning Azerbaijani media disseminated information from the country's Defence Ministry that last night an Armenian military element tried to breach the line of contact."As a result of the timely measures taken by the Azerbaijani army, the Armenian reconnaissance and sabotage group suffered losses and had to retreat. One member of the Armenian reconnaissance and sabotage group was captured by the Azerbaijani armed forces", the defense ministry stated.

The incident has however been denied by the Armenian side. A statement by the Ministry of Defence of the self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic described the report as "Azerbaijani disinformation". According to Armenpress news agency, the incident was also denied by the spokesperson of the Armenian Defence Ministry on his facebook page.

No further information is as yet available.
