The breakaway republic of Abkhazia has closed a bridge Tuesday across the Inguri River on its administrative border with Georgia.
"Movement has been closed for civilians and their vehicles. But the ban does not affect employees of international organizations or peacekeepers based in the security zone of the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict," a Georgian police source announced, as cited by Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
The move came after six people were injured when two explosions rocked Abkhazia's Black Sea resort of Gagra on Sunday.
Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh blamed Georgia for the bombings but Tbilisi called the accusations "absurd."
