Baku said Armenian forces had shelled villages in the Terter and Lachin regions.  Armenia's defense ministry called the claim "misinformation," saying Azerbaijan had "grossly violated" the cease-fire when it launched an artillery attack on various combat positions on the front line.

The latest ceasefire is due to take effect at 8 a.m. local time on Monday, the US State Department and the governments of Azerbaijan and Armenia said in a joint statement. The announcement came after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held separate meetings with the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington on Friday.
