Segment of the drone shot down by Karabakh Armed Forces
STEPANAKERT—The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Armed forces said on Wednesday that its forces shot down an unmanned drone flying over Karabakh airspace, according to a statement by the Karabakh Army, adding that the Azeri Air Force has significantly increased its activity along the Karabakh-Azerbaijan border.
