MOSCOW. Oct 31 (Interfax-AVN) - A helicopter of the peacekeeping forces based in the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict zone came under fire on Tuesday from the territory controlled by Georgia, Alexander Diordiyev, spokesman for the commander of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces in the conflict zone told Interfax from Sukhumi on Wednesday.
"Although the fire was opened from several automatic rifles, only one bullet hit the helicopter, damaging the door of the landing gear. The shots were fired from the Georgian patriotic camp in the village of Ganmukhuri," he said.
Diordiyev also said that the helicopter was on a patrolling mission over the area where Georgian police officers were detained by peacekeepers on Tuesday after they threatened to use force against the peacekeepers.
