Rustavi 2 TV Channel under attack

Unidentified assailants today shelled the studios of a top independent TV Rustavi2, damaging the building but hurting no one.  

The offices of the Rustavi-2 station were shelled from a grenade launcher shortly before dawn on Monday morning. The grenades pierced a hole in the building's concrete wall just centimetres away from the 17-storey premises where the station's staffers were working.

The Russian-made Mukha grenade launchers apparently used in the attack later were found 200m away from the building.
