Armenia's military has accused Azerbaijani forces of attacking one of its positions at a section of the border where deadly fighting raged occurred last week.

Defense Ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanian said on July 21 that an Azerbaijani commando unit suffered heavy losses while being repelled by Armenian troops deployed in the Tavush region, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, a US government-funded organization.

Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry denied the claim. The two countries in the Caucasus region routinely trade such barbs as they remain at odds over the long-disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, an ethnically Armenian enclave within Azerbaijan.

Video filmed on July 22 shows a calm scene in the in the border region separating the Tavush region in Armenia and the Tovuz district in western Azerbaijan, as filmed from the Armenian side.

The situation on the border between Tavush and the Tovuz district in western Azerbaijan remained "tense but stable."
Fighting between the neighboring countries had calmed recently after a flare-up of violence on July 12 that lasted several days.
The Armenian military said on Twitter that the fresh fighting broke out at 10:30 p.m. on July 21, when Azerbaijani special forces attempted an attack on an outpost known as Anvakh but "failed and fled with losses."

After fighting at the volatile border section broke out on July 12, each side accused the other of trying to seize its frontline positions in the mountainous area. At least 12 Azerbaijani soldiers, including a general, and four Armenian servicemen died before the clashes involving artillery fire and drone attacks largely stopped on July 16.
