The violators recorded their illegal actions on a mobile phone camera.
We believe that the goals of the provocateurs are to create preconditions for their detention for violating the border legislation of the Republic of South Ossetia and to create a source of instability on the state border against the backdrop of the bill “On Transparency of Foreign Influence” being considered in the Georgian parliament.”
The investigation authorities are conducting the investigation into this fact, and the “hotline” of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism has also been activated,” the KGB has noted.
In addition, in April, South Ossetian border detachments of the KGB in the area of the settlement. Uista recorded the facts of small arms fire on the adjacent Georgian territory.
“Questions about these provocations will be raised at the next meeting of the IPRM,” the committee has noted
