Russian military forces have sunk a Georgian warship that fired on its Black Sea Fleet, a defense ministry official has said.
"Russian navy ships returned fire, sinking a Georgian craft that had attacked," said the Russian official on condition of anonymity.
Elsewhere, the ITAR-Tass news agency quoted a defense ministry spokesman as saying that Georgian missile patrol boats twice tried to attack Russian ships, which in turn fired back and sank one of the Georgian vessels.
