Армения сообщает о первом инциденте и первых жертвах в Карабахе с начала 2015

2015 год начался плохо на линии соприкосновения, разделяющей армянские и азербайджанские силы в зоне нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Министерство обороны Армении сообщило, что двое ее солдат были убиты и еще один ранен во время отражения   вторжения со стороны Азербайджана на территорию, удерживаемую армянской стороной. Имена убитых солдат Карен Григорян и Вардан Мкртчян, имя раненного солдата Володя Арутюнян. Армянские источники также утверждают, что Азербайджан также понес потери в результате инцидента. Инцидент произошел около 3:15 утра в ночь с 2 и 3 января.

На данный момент азербайджанская сторона отрицает, что данный инцидент имел место, предполагая, что армянские солдаты, возможно, получили ранения в результате перепалки между собой.

Это первые жертвы в нагорно-карабахском конфликте с начала 2015 года. И армяне, и азербайджанцы только что встречали  Новый год вместе с остальным миром, а Рождество в Армении будет отмечаться в ближайшие дни. Таким образом, эти смерти будут особенно болезненными для семей и друзей покойных.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
