Shots fired at Abkhazian parliament

Shots were fired at the Abkhazian parliament on Sunday, according to local media reports.

The incident took place at around 10:30 a.m. local time, when a group of unidentified gunmen opened fire on the parliament building in the capital city of Sukhumi.

No one was reported injured in the attack, and the gunmen were able to escape. The motive for the attack is unknown, and no one has claimed responsibility.

The Abkhazian parliament is the legislative body of the breakaway republic of Abkhazia, which is internationally recognized as part of Georgia. Abkhazia has been de facto independent since the early 1990s, but its status is not recognized by most countries.

The attack on the parliament is the latest in a series of security incidents in Abkhazia in recent months. In August, a Russian military base in Abkhazia was attacked by a group of militants. No one was injured in that attack, but it raised concerns about the security situation in the region.

The Abkhazian authorities have condemned the attack on the parliament and have vowed to find and punish those responsible. They have also called on the international community to help them investigate the attack.

The international community has expressed concern about the attack on the Abkhazian parliament. The United States has called for a full investigation into the attack and has urged all parties to refrain from violence.
