MOSCOW, May 8 (RIA Novosti) -- Georgia's breakaway republic of Abkhazia has shot down a Georgian surveillance drone, the fifth since the beginning of the year, the defense minister said on Thursday.

"We downed another [Georgian] drone over the village of Gudava in the Ochamchir district at about 17.10 Moscow time (13.10 GMT)," Merab Kishmaria said.

So looks like Russian new president will have a new war to handle.
