During the battles in the Gubadli-Lachin direction of the frontline, the enemy that could not withstand the strikes of the Azerbaijan Army fled, leaving their positions, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry reported. 

The units of the 556th and 522nd motorized rifle regiments, delivered from Armenia and located in the defense zone, did not occupy the frontier assigned to them.

At the same time, the military personnel were unprepared, inexperienced, and undisciplined, as well as neglected orders and tasks.
