Tensions flare on Georgian borders

A series of explosions has occurred on the border between Georgia and its breakaway region of Abkhazia. Georgian officials said one explosion hit a police car, but no one was killed or seriously injured. The blasts are the latest in a series of border incidents this week between Georgia and separatists in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The separatists and Georgians blame each other for stocking tensions in the region. On Saturday, Russia, which has stepped up its recognition of the separatist administrations, warned Georgia against any military offensive to retake the provinces. Georgia accuses Russia of seeking to annex Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
