Flooding claims lives of two soldiers
At least two soldiers died in floodwaters overnight as the river overflowed its banks because of heavy rains and flooded the nearby military positions in Jabrail on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. As reported by Aravot.am, floodwaters swept away six servicemen this night. Four of them have been found and are reported to be in critical condition. Spokesman for the Armenian Ministry of Defense, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, confirmed the information but he refrained from giving more details.
