In South Ossetia a blast killed seven Russian soldiers, and wounded seven Russian soldiers, a Russian commander said.
The blast was from a car bomb which was blown up near a Russian military base in the regional capital, Tskhinvali, local officials said.
Georgia accused Russia of organizing the explosion as an excuse to delay withdrawal of their troops from South Ossetia. But Russia accused Georgia, saying that it was an attempt to sabotage the agreement between the two sides.
A statement made by the South Ossetian breakaway government said that Russia troops had confiscated the vehicle that was blown up from an ethnic Georgian village because the vehicle was carrying weapons.
