Georgian Defense Minister Irakly Okruashvili displayed a Strela missile to television cameras and legislators, saying it had been delivered to an Abkhaz town from a Russian military base in southern Georgia.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Vyacheslav Sedov dismissed the charges. He said a routine inventory taken at the beginning of February indicated no theft of weapons at the base.
