South Ossetia has recorded five instances of residents of Georgia illegally crossing the state border between July 23 and the present, Egor Kochiev, the head of the Republic's delegation to the IPRM (Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism) format, told reporters.
He has emphasized that the border violations by the Georgian citizens are continuing, despite South Ossetia's security efforts.
"Of the five individuals detained, three were expelled because their actions were not intentional. The other two remain under investigation in the Republic.
These were hunters who had wandered into the South Ossetian territory. They were detained by the border patrol and handed over to our border guards for further processing," Kochiev said.
The next IPRM meeting is scheduled for October 28.
