Russian occupation forces carried out illegal ‘borderisation’ activities near central Georgia’s Kareli municipality village of Dvani, installing metal poles and wires in the area, the state security service of Georgia said on Friday.

The state body also said it had alerted the European Union monitoring mission and co-chairpersons of the Geneva International Discussions of the development, with the dedicated hotline used for incidents along the administrative boundary also being activated.

The service also noted the issue would be raised at the next scheduled meeting of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism in Ergneti - designed to facilitate communication between de facto authorities in the occupied regions and Georgian officials -  and the Geneva International Discussions.
