2007 Georgia helicopter incident information


Location of the Kodori Gorge

The 2007 Georgia helicopter incident refers to the accusation[1] by Georgia that three Russian helicopters fired on the Kodori Gorge in Abkhazia on 11 March 2007. It was a break-away autonomous republic in north-western Georgia (at the time[2] the Kodori Gorge was the only portion of Abkhazia still under Georgia's control). The attack was at the village of Chkhalta, which damaged a school,[3] and the government headquarters of the Georgian-backed Abkhaz government-in-exile.[4] Russia denied any attacks and said all its aircraft near the area were grounded over the weekend.
