Blast Injures TV Cameraman in South Ossetia

A cameraman for the Tbilisi-based Rustavi 2 television Levan Dgebuadze was slightly injured as a result of a blast, which occurred near the village of Kurta in the South Ossetian conflict zone.

Reports say that an unknown explosive went off when a group of Georgian and South Ossetian law enforcers, as well as Russian peacekeepers, accompanyed by several reporters, were heading towards Kekhvi to search the area in an attempt to find Eldar Kakhniashvili, who went missing on November 3.

Recently, the Georgian and South Ossetian sides agreed to jointly carry out search operations for Eldar Kakhniashvili, who according to the Georgian side, has been kidnapped by the South Ossetian side. The latter denies these accusations.
