Incoming report from journalist contact inside Georgia reports that Russian troops are in Sarpi on the Black Sea coast. This is the border crossing into Turkey just south of Batumi and is quite far from Senaki or Poti where Russian troops were last reported. There seems to be cessation of military activities forthcoming on the side of the Russian military. Perhaps President Bush has good intelligence that further attacks are forthcoming when he issued his statement, which seemed like a warning to Russia not to attempt to overthrow President Saakashvili’s regime.

He also reports that a Georgian missile boat has been sunk by Russian naval forces.

“1:30am local time. Russian troops in Sarpi, on the Black Sea port. Russian warships sunk Georgian missile boat”
