Mikheil Kareli, spokesman for the office of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, said four members of Georgia's security forces were injured early today during shootings at a checkpoint between the villages of Pristi and Eredvi.
Late yesterday, unidentified Georgian gunmen reportedly opened fire at a security checkpoint in the same region, injuring a number of policemen.
Tensions have escalated in the republic since 8 July, when separatist Ossetian activists detained a group of 36 Georgian Army soldiers. All but three of them were released yesterday.
