“A small group of armed, masked men and civilians entered Georgian territory on Thursday morning and removed a Georgian flag near the country’s contentious border with South Ossetia, a breakaway Georgian enclave backed by Russia. The incident occurred very close to one of Georgia’s main highways, near the enclave, where Russian troops have been stationed since the two countries fought a brief war over the territory in 2008.”
