According to the disseminated information, the head of the operational service of the Lagodekhi border police department Ilo Maisashvili was wounded. According to the official version, he was injured while on duty due to careless handling of the official weapons.
The Georgian border service claims that a loaded Maisashvili machine gun fell to the ground for an unknown reason, after which an accidental shot occurred. The head of the department received a leg wound, with which he was taken to the nearest hospital. It is said that the wound is minor and Maisashvili will be discharged in the near future.
