 After the United Nations peacekeepers had withdrawn from the Kodori Gorge, Georgian official said that 12 Russian jets were bombing the Georgian-controlled territory in Abkhazia.Aerial attacks were carried out by Abkhazia against the northern part of the Kodori Valley; the only part of Abkhazia effectively under Georgian control.Abkhaz foreign minister Sergei Shamba said Abkhazia acted because it had a treaty with South Ossetia and "Georgian forces in the Kodori Gorge posed a real threat."
