Georgia Says Russia Jet Violates Airspace SKY
News
The plane flew three miles into Georgian territory on Tuesday, its Foreign Ministry said. A Russian defence spokesman immediately denied the new accusation, insisting none of its aircraft were in the region. "On the date mentioned by Georgia the planes of the Russian air force did not fly near to the Georgian border," the spokesman said. But the Georgian foreign ministry said the country's air defence system tracked an aircraft incursion near the breakaway Abkhazia region.
Earlier this month an unexploded missile landed near a village in Georgia. Georgia accused Russia of flying into its airspace and dropping the missile, an accusation Russia has also denied. Relations between Russia and former Soviet Georgia have been strained since a spy row last year.
