South Ossetia Said it Shot Dn Georgia’s Spying Drone
A spying drone of Georgia was shot down above Tskhinvali, South Ossetia, at night of August 27 to 28, RIA Novosti reported with reference to South Ossetia’s Acting Interior Minister Mikhail Mindzaev.
The drone emerged from the southern direction, heading northward at around midnight. The air defense systems of South Ossetia opened defensive fire and shot it down, Mindzaev said.

According to Mindzaev, subversive groups have been spotted near Tskhinvali. Georgia sent them for acts of terror and, in South Ossetia, they are setting up special units and brigades to oppose those groups.

A drone was noticed above South Ossetia, the RF General Staff Deputy Chief General-Colonel Anatoly Nogovitsyn announced August 27, concluding that Tbilisi had no intention to abandon aggressive plans.
