Tbilisi, Georgia : An official says four police officers have been wounded by an explosion in the breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia, AP reported.
Spokeswoman Irina Gagloyeva of the region’s unrecognized government says the Thursday morning blast hit a car that one of the wounded officers had received from a Georgian person.
She alleges the blast was a terrorist attack staged by Georgian security agents.
Also Thursday, a grenade hit a car carrying law enforcement officers in another part of South Ossetia, critically wounding one.
A Georgian Interior Ministry official denies his government had any role.
South Ossetia and another region, Abkhazia, broke away from Georgian control in the 1990s and the threat of renewed war remains high, particularly in Abkhazia.
