MINOR BLAST IN BRIDGE CONNECTING GEORGIA WITH ARMENIA

Tbilisi, 22 August: Unknown individuals have attempted to blow up a
railway bridge in Marneuli District connecting the country with
neighbouring Armenia, regional authorities have reported.

Kvemo Kartli governor Davit Kirkitadze told journalists on Friday [22

under one of the piers of the bridge, went off in the early hours on
Friday. However, the explosion did not cause serious damage.

The governor stressed that an investigation had been launched into the
blast.
