While preventing the attack, several servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan were intentionally killed as a result of shelling the enemy from large-caliber weapons, mortars, artillery, tanks and armored vehicles. Attempts were made to kill several people with inflicting various bodily harm, insulting acts of "vandalism" were carried out over the bodies of intentionally killed servicemen, and significant material damage was caused to the state, individuals and legal entities. The attack was prevented by the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan, as a result of a counterattack from the enemy occupation, the heights around Talish village of Terter district and the Leletepe heights near the Jojug Marjanli village of Jabrail district and other territories were liberated.
