Azerbaijani Forces Continue to Target Sotk Gold Mine

The Sotk mine, Armenia’s largest gold mine, was unable to resume operations on Monday as Azerbaijani forces continued to open fire on the establishment for the third consecutive day.

Armenia’s Defense Ministry on Monday said that the latest attacks took place at around 10 p.m. local time on Sunday. The attacks on the Sotk gold mine, in Armenia’s Gegharkunik Province, began Friday evening and continued into Saturday.

While no casualties were reported, mine operators have been forced to halt all activities and production at the mine. [Asbarez.com]
