South Ossetian militiamen have “liquidated a four-member Georgian saboteur-terrorist group” near the village of Sinaguri in the Java district in the north of breakaway South Ossetia, the unrecognized republic’s Press and Information Committee reported on October 31.
No casualties have been reported from the South Ossetian side after the clash, which according to the South Ossetian Press and Information Committee occurred at dawn on October 31.
“This village is out of the conflict zone and is not in the area of responsibility of the peacekeepers, so I can not confirm or deny this report. We do not know what has happened, or if there were any Georgians,” Paata Bedianashvili, commander of the Georgian peacekeeping battalion in the conflict zone, told Civil Georgia via telephone on October 31.
