Georgia fires at 'Russian plane'
Georgian forces have apparently fired at a plane believed to be Russian after it violated the Georgian airspace, a government official said.
Tbilisi could not confirm whether the plane was shot down, but said that a nearby section of forest was on fire.
However, Russia dismissed the claim, and an airforce spokesman called it "the latest provocation aimed against us"
Relations between the two former Soviet republics have been strained since a spy row last year.
