TBILISI, August 6 (AVN) - Georgian and Russian sappers continue elimination of explosives being stored in engineering storehouses of the Russian troops group in the Trans-Caucasus on the field of the Vaziani-based former 137th Russian military base withdrawn in late June, a spokesman for the Georgian Defence Ministry told the Military News Agency on Monday.
About 900 cars with explosives with expired service terms are left in storehouses in Sagaredzho, Eastern Georgia. It is dangerous to transport such explosives, that is why they are eliminated at the site.
According to Vakhtang Dzhgerenai, commander of a separate engineering battalion of the Georgian Defence Ministry, sappers eliminate about two to three cars with explosives at the Vaziani testing ground every day. They have eliminated approximately 60 train cars with explosives left by now.
