Reports: Abkhazia Deploys Troops at Border

At 6am on August 8 Abkhaz forces, accompanied by artillery systems and multiple rocket launchers, began moving from Ochamchire district to the administrative border on the Enguri river, Interfax news agency reported.

Earlier on August 8, following midnight session of the Abkhaz National Security Council, Sergey Bagapsh, the Abkhaz leader, told Interfax that a decision had been taken to reinforce the Abkhaz border amid clashes in South Ossetia.

The area across the administrative border is a security zone, according to the 1994 Moscow ceasefire agreement, which bans the presence of heavy military equipment within the zone.
