TSKHINVALI/MOSCOW. Nov 22 (Interfax-AVN) - The Joint Peacekeeping Forces in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone will place new posts in the most vulnerable sectors on Tuesday, official of the forces' press service Erdni Natyrov told Interfax-Military News Agency.
"In line with a decision of the Joint Peacekeeping Forces' Unified HQ, peacekeepers will place posts in the sector between the localities of Tamarasheni and Kekhvi and along the Bolshaya Liakhvi River between the localities of Kheiti and Kemerti on Tuesday," Natyrov said by phone from Tskhinvali.
The posts will be placed under the accords reached by South Ossetian President Eduard Kokoity and Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania at a meeting in Sochi on November 5, as well as in line with decisions of the Joint Control Commission made in Vladikavkaz on November 19 and 20.
"The Unified HQ is updating the number of the posts to be placed and the strength of the personnel involved in it," Natyrov said.
The Joint Peacekeeping Forces must act consistently and insistently, as the situation remains quite complicated, he said.
"Tskhinvali came under grenade launcher fire from Tamarasheni twice overnight to Monday. Shootouts were also registered in the vicinity of Dicevi southeast of Tskhinvali," Natyrov noted.
