Today at 03:30 a.m. a saboteur group of the Ministry of Defense of Georgia made a provocative sally from Georgian village Nikozi, shelled southern outskirts of Tskhinval and check-points of the Ministry of Interior of the RSO. The shelling was done with mortar, grenade cup discharges and automatic guns. As a result of the measures taken by the Ossetian side the weapon emplacements of the attacking side were neutralized. Three staff of the RSO Ministry of Interior Boris Kaziev, Alexander Pliev and Roland Gabaraev were wounded. State of health of two of them is extremely bad.
Georgia continues its aggressive, military policy, increasing its military presence at the borders of the RSO. Last night’s incident is a continuation of regular provocations using heavy artillery.
As we were informed by the Ministry of Interior press-service the security agencies of the Republic of South Ossetia are on alarm. All the check-points on the border with Georgia are reinforced.
