The command of the Russian peacekeeping forces stated that the soldiers were sent to the village in order to find out “the legality of the presence of a Georgian police post” in this locality. After conducting an inspection, a representative of the headquarters claims, the peacekeepers left the village. Nothing is reported about the results of the inspection. Observers connect the incident with the detention yesterday in this village of 4 Russian servicemen with weapons, but without documents. They explained that they were looking for a lost horse in the mountains and got lost.
