The USA commented on the situation on the border of Georgia and South Ossetia

The diplomat called South Ossetia "the Georgian region occupied by Russia."

“We urge all parties to avoid escalation and work to resolve the situation with the European Observer Mission and through the Geneva discussions mechanism ... We urge Russia to use all available channels to prevent further escalation,” the report said.

Earlier in South Ossetia, they announced the beginning of a “humanitarian operation” in the vicinity of the border village of Uista, where the situation worsened due to the setting up of a police checkpoint by Georgia.

Commenting on the situation, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern about the escalation of tension in the region.

Russian diplomats called on the parties for dialogue.
