TSKHINVALI. Oct 22 (Interfax) - A mine blew up in the village of Ikoti in South Ossetia's Tskhinvali district close to the border with Georgia, the republic's prosecutors told Interfax on Saturday.
Early reports suggest that two people have been killed as a result of the explosion, the source said.
South Ossetian bomb disposal experts and law enforcement officers have travelled to the scene.
The preliminary theory is that the mine was planted there during the August 2008 events.
An inquiry is under way, the results will be announced later, prosecutors said.
