The European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) is concerned to learn about an incident yesterday near Mosabruni in the Akhalgori Valley area where it is reported by the media that Russian soldiers were either injured or killed. At around midday an explosion was heard by our monitors whilst out on patrol at nearby Kvemo Chala.
We understand that it is not clear at all what happened – whether it was an accident or some form of sabotage. Since the EUMM has an interest in ensuring stability and normalization in all the areas adjacent to the administrative boundary line, we would be very happy to offer our services to conduct a neutral investigation into the cause of this incident, if allowed to do so by the relevant authorities in the area.
