More Gunfire on Georgia Border
James Joyner | November 30, 2008Yet another shooting incident has taken place on the Georgia-South Ossetia border. AP:
Georgian and separatist South Ossetian authorities are accusing each other of opening fire across the line of control in the ex-Soviet republic. Nobody was hurt, but the accusations have added to tension following the August war that strengthened Russian and separatist control over Georgia's South Ossetia region.
The South Ossetian government said Sunday that a village came under sporadic automatic-weapons fire from Georgian-controlled territory for several hours late Saturday. It said South Ossetian forces did not return fire. Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili acknowledged that Georgian forces fired shots but said they were responding to gunfire from South Ossetian-controlled territory.
What's most noteworthy here is the seemingly universal treatment of South Ossetia as a de facto separate state.
