South Ossetia reports shelling from Georgia's side

The MIA of South Ossetia has reported that yesterday, on March 25, late at night, the South-Ossetian village of Mugut was shelled from the Georgian side. Nobody suffered.

We remind you that after the 2008 August conflict the situation in the Georgia-South Ossetia border is still very tense.

The MIA spokesman has noted that such incidents have become more frequent recently. Thus, according to his story, at night on March 24 a single grenade launcher shot was made on Mugut from Dvani, while on March 20, a mortar was shooting from the same Georgian village.

The Georgian party gave no comments on this information.
