Apparently there was a missile boat engagement overnight between the Russian and Georgian navies.

According to the translated account, four missile corvettes pursueded a sole Russian missile corvette near the Georgian port of Poti on the Black Sea.

The Russian vessel responded with a missile which struck one of the Georgian vessels and set it afire. The Georgian navy then withdrew.

Bear in mind reading this that this is reprinting of Russian MOD press releases; we may well never know what really happened.

This is the Russian Navy's version of events.
