S. Ossetians enter Georgian village

South Ossetian security forces have moved into the Georgian village of Perevi, outside the borders of the breakaway region, Georgian officials said, drawing warnings from EU officials monitoring their ceasefire. They said Russian troops had pulled back from this region on Saturday, and dozens of South Ossetian "militiamen" had moved in to replace them.

 

A senior Georgian police officer in the region said Sunday that police had been on standby. "Now we're waiting for some kind of assistance from the EU monitors." He said around 10 Russian soldiers remained in the village. (Reuters)
