Azerenerji OJSC is building a new closed-type substation in Azerbaijan’s liberated city of Khankandi.

Report informs, citing the company, that in September 2023, during the anti-terrorist operation, a special team from Azerenerji began work promptly in accordance with the head of state’s instructions. They managed to provide power to Khankandi and surrounding areas from the Shusha substation within just four days.

However, when under separatist control, the 110-kV lines and the existing Khankandi substation had long exceeded their operational lifespan, resulting in frequent emergency shutdowns and prolonged interruptions.

Therefore, starting in the spring of this year, Azerenerji began constructing the 110 kV double-circuit Khankandi-1 and Khankandi-2 high-voltage transmission lines from Shusha city to Khankandi, traversing the most challenging mountainous and forested terrain. The installation of the overhead line, with a total length of 11 km, has already been completed, and work on laying 1.8 km of underground cable is underway. Most importantly, construction has begun on a closed-type 110, 35, and 10 kV substation in the city of Khankandi, conforming to the modern urban network model.

A tactical-special exercise titled “Sudden Attack on Enemy Facility at Night” was conducted by the special forces units of the Combined Arms Army.

The Ministry of Defense told Report that the activities to be carried out according to the plan were detailed on the map.

Operating under conditions of limited visibility, the special forces infiltrated deep into the enemy’s simulated territory, where they executed ambushes, raids, and a variety of combat-training tasks.

The height determined by the time norm was captured by special forces, mobile groups continued to work to capture the next dominant height with the organization of circular protection and defense.

The exercise also included the practice of evacuating the wounded and delivering ammunition, carried out by designated security-evacuation teams.

The tasks assigned during the tactical-special exercise, which incorporated lessons learned from the recent successful military operations by the Azerbaijan Army, were executed with a high level of professionalism and expertise, resulting in the successful achievement of the established objectives.

On the initiative of Global Media Group, trainers from Haber Global TV conducted practical and theoretical training sessions titled “Reporting in War and Crisis Regions.” These sessions aim to develop media representatives’ skills to protect themselves and survive while performing their duties in war zones, emergency situations, and other extreme conditions.

According to Report, media employees of Global Media Group participated in these training sessions, which were organized by reserve and retired army members in the mountainous terrain of Khizi district.

During the training sessions, media representatives learned about the tactical and technical characteristics of weapons and ammunition, behavior in mined areas, first aid, military topography, navigation using modern technologies and traditional methods, and survival techniques in various terrains.

The training program also included lessons from the experiences of the Haber Global team in various global hotspots. TV reporter Murat Karatas emphasized the importance of having sufficient information about any hot spot before being deployed.

“The film crew must be familiar with the climate, terrain, ethnic composition, and traditions of the local people. In a war zone, journalists must understand the positions of the parties involved and the types of weapons and ammunition used.

The most reliable source of information about the area is your country’s diplomatic representation. Report your daily activities to them so they can start looking for you immediately if you go missing.

Remember, your health and safety are more important than the material you are preparing. If you suspect danger, such as traps, mines, or unexploded ammunition, treat the area as hazardous and avoid it,” Karatas said.

He added that media representatives should carry special tools to make their work easier in hot spots. Essential items include a power bank, flashlight, mask, lighter, food, raincoat, and boots.

Instructor-expert and reserve Special Forces officer, Captain Turgay Maharramov, explained several methods for finding direction in unfamiliar areas:

“If you think you’re lost, you have several options for finding your direction. At night, you can determine north by locating the North Star, which appears bigger and brighter than other stars.

Another method is when you determine your location based on the terrain. In a war zone, do not use GPS devices too much when approaching any side’s position, as the military has tools to detect the signals these devices send to satellites.

These tools display the signals as illumination, allowing the other party to determine your location. In war, there are no laws, and it doesn’t matter if you are media or the enemy. The system sees a foreign object approaching.”

Trainer Maharramov also discussed first aid, noting that it varies depending on the injury. Injuries can include bullet and shrapnel wounds, burns, and suffocation.

“If a person has a gunshot or shrapnel wound, your first step is to stop the bleeding. If the wound is on the leg, stop the blood flow by covering the area above the knee with anything available, including your shirt.

One of your main tasks is to maintain the psychological state of the wounded. They need to be confident that you will save them; otherwise, they may panic and lose control.

Avoid showing the injured part to the person. Keep the wound away from the soil and cover it to prevent bacterial infection.

Use the person’s own medical bag for first aid. Once you’ve stopped the bleeding, check for other injuries.

If there is a fracture, use any available means to fix the arm or leg. Prevent the injured person from moving the affected part as much as possible,” Maharramov advised.

The head of the mine search project, reserve lieutenant colonel Khalig Huseynov spoke about mines and unexploded ordnance. He informed the training participants about various types of landmines and specifically listed those placed by the Armenian armed forces in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.

Participants were provided with technical and other necessary equipment during the theoretical and practical training, which lasted several days in the mountain-forest terrain.

In accordance with the plan approved by the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Colonel General Zakir Hasanov, a series of events dedicated to September 27 – Remembrance Day were held in the divisions, formations, and military units of the Azerbaijani Army, as well as in special educational institutions.

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan told Report that, as part of the plan, military personnel visited the Alleys of Martyrs and laid flowers on the graves of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, paying tribute to their cherished memory.

The State Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan was performed by the Military Orchestra during the ceremonies.

Today, the martyrs of the 44-day Patriotic War in Azerbaijan are being commemorated at the Second Alley of Honor. On September 27, four years ago, every one of the ten million Azerbaijanis became a soldier.

According to Report, this was highlighted in a video reportage by Haber Global TV about September 27 – Remembrance Day in Azerbaijan.

The video material mentioned that while it is joyous for internally displaced persons (IDPs) to return to their homeland, it is even more honorable to visit the graves of those who sacrificed their lives for that homeland:

“Four years ago, the first step was taken towards the day when one million IDPs would return to their homeland after 30 years. Although years have passed since the events, the wounds in the hearts of the martyred mothers and fathers remain fresh. But today, they visit their children’s graves with respect and pride.”

Haber Global in the video reportage also provided information about the anti-terrorist operation carried out on September 19-20, 2023, emphasizing its significance.

The people of Azerbaijan honor the 2,908 martyrs who lost their lives in the Second Karabakh War.

According to Report, Haber Global TV has produced a video reportage from the Second Alley of Honor in Baku to mark Azerbaijan’s Remembrance Day on September 27.

The video highlights that four years ago, counter-attack operations began following the shelling of Azerbaijani civilians by Armenian forces.

“According to the order of President Ilham Aliyev, September 27, when the war began, is celebrated as the Day of Remembrance in Azerbaijan to commemorate those who died in the Civil War.

Nearly three thousand martyrs stand behind the great victory won in the Patriotic War. That is why the dear memory of the martyrs is commemorated in all regions of Azerbaijan today.”
