Russian general accuses Georgia of fabricating report
Russia’s top military officer today accused Georgia of fabricating a report of a Russian missile attack, as Moscow and its small Westward-looking neighbour continued angry bickering over an incident that heightened bilateral tensions.
Georgia said radar data proved Russian jets violated its airspace on Monday and fired a missile aiming at a Georgian radar. The missile, which did not explode, landed near a village in the north-western Gori region near Georgia’s breakaway province of South Ossetia patrolled by Russian peacekeepers.
