ZUGDIDI, Georgia (Reuters) - More than 100 Russian vehicles were massed two km (1.5 miles) from the centre of Zugdidi, a major town in western Georgia, a Reuters witness said.

“I counted 104 Russian army vehicles, including 40 armored vehicles, most of which are tanks,” Reuters staff photographer Umit Bektas said by telephone from the city.

Bektas said their purpose was unclear.

He said the convoy included weapons such as rocket propelled grenades and was carrying Russian flags.
