The defence ministry of Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of shooting dead five of its soldiers on their border, a day after three Armenians were killed.
Armenian "saboteurs" killed four soldiers in one incident and a fifth Azerbaijani soldier was shot dead in another, the ministry said in Baku.
There was no immediate comment from Armenia, which fought a war with its fellow ex-Soviet state in the 1990s.
Visiting US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for restraint.
She arrived in Georgia on Tuesday from Armenia, with a visit to Azerbaijan scheduled for Wednesday.
A formal ceasefire between Azerbaijan and Armenia since their war over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh is looking increasingly fragile.
