As a result of tactical mistakes, lack of communication between the groups, the spread of the operational secret and the betrayal of the guides, the Azerbaijani platoons entering Karintak from the direction of Nəbilər village were ambushed by Armenian forces and completely destroyed. Several platoons that entered the village were able to retreat with significant losses.The battle lasted just over 12 hours. According to official information, the Azerbaijani Army lost more than 90[7] people in the Karintak operation.
