Russia denies any relation to drone explosion in Georgia
The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) had categorically refuted its any involvement in the incident with a pilotless plane (drone), which fell down and exploded in the vicinity of the village of Plavi, Gori District of Georgia.
We remind you that the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Georgia has announced that at about 3:00 p.m. on November 17 the air space of the country was violated by a Russian drone, which fell down near Plavi village of the Gori District.
The Russian MoD, in its turn, has declared that Georgian authorities' assertions about the incident with a drone "have absolutely nothing to do with reality."
"This is just another informational provocation of the Georgian leadership," the official spokesman of Russian MoD told the ITAR-TASS Agency.
The Russian Federation's MoD asserts that it hadn't sent any drones Georgia, writes the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" newspaper.
