In Georgia, at least 27 people were injured on Saturday after opposition protesters stormed the presidential residence. Among the injured were six protesters and 21 police officers. Police responded with water cannons and tear gas after the Ministry of the Interior declared that the demonstration had violated the law on peaceful protests. The unrest comes amid local elections for mayors and municipal assembly members, largely driven by pro-Western movements. In response, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobajidze accused the European Union of fueling the unrest and attempting to overthrow the government.
