“Yesterday the Georgians started to fortify their borders. At around midnight we heard gunshots from the Georgian side and responded in kind. The shooting continued for around ten minutes. No one was injured. Georgia’s brought additional units into the immediate Abkhazian border zone and they aren’t supposed to be here,” Ruslan Kishmareya stated.
