“We have information that the Georgian Armed Forces received an order to be on 15-hour alert. Reservists from the Georgian National Guard are expected to join them soon. The actions were taken after an extraordinary meeting of the Georgian Security Council in response to an order of Russian President Vladimir Putin to render support to South Ossetia and Abkhazia,” the spokesman for the South Ossetian security council said.
