ANAMA: Armenians tried to hit BTC pipeline with Smerch

Fierce fighting continues on the front, Report's correspondent sent to frontline says.

Armenia continues to commit acts of terrorism against the civilian population in gross violation of international law's norms and principles.

On October 6, at about 9 pm, on the Armenian military-political leadership orders, the occupying country's armed forces fired missiles at the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, the largest strategic project in the region, which plays an essential role in Europe's energy security. As a result of the decisive measures of our army, this terrorist attempt was prevented.

The rocket launched by the enemy fell within 10 meters of the pipeline.

Gadir Namazaliyev, an employee of the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA), told Report that the missile was of the Smerch type:

"It contains 300 bombs. Fifty-six of them are completely dangerous, remain in place, and will be destroyed by detonation. Two of the bombs fell and exploded. 242 were transported safely and will be demolished by an explosion at the landfill."

At present, the Agency's workers are carrying out search operations in the area.
