A senior Armenian official said late on Wednesday a truce was agreed with Azerbaijan after two days of violence linked to a decades-old dispute between the former Soviet states over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
There was no word from Azerbaijan about a truce.
Russia is the pre-eminent diplomatic force in the region, with some 2,000 peacekeepers there.
Moscow brokered the deal that ended the 2020 fighting - dubbed the second Karabakh war - in which hundreds died.
Russian news agencies quoted Mr Armen Grigoryan, secretary of Armenia's security council, as telling Armenian television: "Thanks to the involvement of the international community, an agreement has been reached on a ceasefire." The announcement said the truce had been in effect for several hours.
Armenia's Defence Ministry earlier said skirmishes in border areas have stopped.
Each side blames the other for the fresh clashes.
