Georgia has accused a Russian fighter jet of violating its
airspace for the second time this month.
The plane flew three miles into Georgian territory on Tuesday,
its Foreign Ministry said.
A Russian defence spokesman immediately denied the new accusation,
insisting none of its aircraft were in the region.
"On the date mentioned by Georgia the planes of the Russian
air force did not fly near to the Georgian border," the spokesman
said.
But the Georgian foreign ministry said the country's air defence
system tracked an aircraft incursion near the breakaway Abkhazia
region.

Earlier this month an unexploded missile landed near a village
in Georgia.
Georgia accused Russia of flying into its airspace and dropping
the missile, an accusation Russia has also denied.
Relations between Russia and former Soviet Georgia have been
strained since a spy row last year.
