Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry condemned on Wednesday domestic media reports that more Azerbaijani soldiers have died in recent days, saying that they play into Armenia's hands.
"Some local online media outlets are spreading from unknown sources incredible information amounting to rumors about casualties sustained by our Armed Forces," the ministry said in a statement cited by the APA news agency.
It said that information "serves Armenia's interests" and is aimed at "casting a shadow on Azerbaijan's military achievements."
"The [ethnic] origin of some persons, who serve the Armenian interests by circulating officially unconfirmed, exaggerated and often untrue news reports, is starting to cause suspicions," the ministry added, apparently threatening to accuse them of being of Armenian descent.
