Representatives of the Georgian security forces, despite the repeated warnings of the State Security Committee of the Republic of South Ossetia about the inadmissibility of escalating the situation on the state border in the village of Uista (Tsnelis) of Znaur district of South Ossetia, moved from one-off provocations to a well-planned and supported by the countries of the collective West policy of hybrid actions combining military. police, information and political events, with their ultimate goal of creating a center of instability on the state border of the Republic of South Ossetia and Georgia , KGB RSO said on Monday.
"So, in the period from November 8 to 11, the number of cases when the Georgian side used military and police drones to conduct reconnaissance in this area increased unprecedentedly. In particular, on November 8 this year, from 2.30 am, 4 UAVs carried out flight to monitor the border territory in the area of the villages of Chorchana, Kobi and Abano along the power line. On the same day at 21.05 the Border Guard Service of the KGB of South Ossetia recorded a UAV flight at a low altitude from the location of the Georgian police post (quarry at an altitude of 903.2) in the direction of the village of Chorchana.and then to Kobi. On November 9, at 12.35 an UAV flew from the village of Chorchana in the direction of the village of Koda. And at 18:00 from the location of the Georgian police post from the village of Koda, a flight of 6 quadcopters was recorded, which conducted reconnaissance of the area at an altitude 991.1, and then flew to the village of Chorchana, made a video fix and proceeded towards the village of Abano (Georgia), "the KGB statement reads.
It was added that the Georgian security forces continued the attempts to penetrate into the territory of South Ossetia.
."So, on November 9, at 17.55, a signal fence was triggered 100 meters from the South Ossetian border post, and as a result, a forest was ignited. The border guards put out the fire. The violators left for Georgia," the department said.
Also, the KGB of South Ossetia has recorded a growing trend of unprovoked use of firearms by the Georgian side. In particular, on November 9 at 20.39 from the side of the area of height 911.1 (settlement Abano) several shots were fired from automatic weapons, on November 10 at 17.25 from the side of the height 911.1 (settlement Abano) - about 15 shots, both single and short bursts.
South Ossetian side, using the so-called “hot line” informed the Mechanism for Prevention and Early Warning of Incidents (IPRM) about the provocations that had taken place.
The State Security Committee of South Ossetia declares responsibly that the blame for any negative consequences inspired by the interior Ministry and security service of Georgia, the so-called "Tznelis crisis" rests squarely on the Georgian power structures and the leadership of the Tbilisi regime as a whole.
