Georgia detains 2 Russian military trucks
MOSCOW , July 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Georgian troops detained two Russian military trucks carrying missiles and other armaments in Georgia's rebel province of South Ossetia on Tuesday night , Russian news agencies reported Wednesday. The news agencies said that the Georgian troops stopped a Russian convoy of 10 trucks coming from the capital of Russia's North Ossetia region Vladikavkaz to head for Tskinvali , capital of the self-run South Ossetia. Two trucks loaded with some 300 unguided missiles and other armaments were detained. The Georgian troops escorted the two trucks to a Georgian city while allowing the remaining eight trucks to go to their destination. The Russian Defense Ministry called Georgia's seizure of Russian military property in South Ossetia a provocation. "Georgia's moves cannot be qualified as anything but a provocation ," the ministry spokesman Vyacheslav Sedov was quoted by Interfax as saying. He said that Russia would continue talks with Georgia on how to settle the issue. South Ossetia has won de-facto independence from Georgia following a bloody war that ended in 1992. It has repeatedly refused to start unification talks with the central government , vowing to be a part of Russia. A joint peacekeeping contingent , composed of Russian , Georgian and South Ossetian troops , has been patrolling a conflict area between Georgia and South Ossetia since then. Tensions between Georgia and South Ossetia have risen in recent months. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has vowed to reunify the country by bringing South Ossetia and another rebel region Abkhazia back under control. Russia insists that it respects Georgia's territorial integrity and does not support the attempt of South Ossetia , whose independence has not been internationally recognized.
