Several gunshots have been fired close to a motorcade carrying the Georgian and Polish presidents, leading world information agencies reported on Sunday, citing Georgian officials.

The Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and his Polish counterpart Lech Kaczynski were visiting an area located near the conflict zone where Georgian and Russian forces clashed in August.

The incident happened close to a checkpoint and Georgian officials stated that shots were fired from inside South Ossetia. South Ossetian officials denied firing shells at the convoy, according to Russian state media.

No injuries were reported during the Sunday shooting.

In August, Georgia made an attempt to retake South Ossetia. Russia launched a counter-attack and the Georgian troops were ejected from both South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Since the August conflict between Georgia and Russia, there have been several incidents along the border, with each side accusing the other of violating a ceasefire agreement.

Lech Kaczynski is in Georgia for the celebrations of the fifth anniversary of the Rose Revolution that brought Saakashvili to power.
