Russia Says Removing Ammo from Near Gori

Russian military said they were removing military hardware and ammunition from an arms depot outside the Georgian town of Gori.

“In the vicinity of Gori, a big military depot was discovered containing Georgian military hardware,” a spokesman for Russia’s peacekeeping forces in the breakaway South Ossetia told Reuters by telephone.

“The depot was unguarded and the military hardware there was battle-ready. In the interests of demilitarizing the conflict zone and ensuring the safety of the population, the military hardware and ammunition are now being removed,” he added.
