8 September: The Georgian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that three Russian helicopters violated its air space yesterday, in a region close to its border with Chechnya (civil.ge)

"This violation of Georgia's airspace represents a continuation of Russia's policy aimed at infringing on Georgia's statehood and independence. Such a blatant contravention of international law clearly aims at provoking the adequate response from the Georgian side, and intends to further escalate the security situation on the ground," the Georgian Foreign Ministry said in the statement.
