Teen solves centuries-old math problem
TBILISI, Georgia, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Russian assaults near the key Poti and Batumi ports in Georgia subsided Friday as top military officials denied bombing the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.
"Military action has halted," said Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, a top Russian defense officer.
Nogovitsyn added Russian navy patrols continued to patrol the area to secure shipping lanes, and reports said the oil port of Batumi on the Black Sea was open and functioning, the international chemical industry reporting agency ICIS news reported.
BP, the majority shareholder in several Georgian pipelines, said oil transportation through the Baku-Supsa pipeline was suspended due to regional conflict, though gas exports through the South Caucasus pipeline resumed Thursday.
Georgian officials and various media reports said Russian aircraft had bombed the BTC pipeline, which carries 1 percent of the world's oil, though Nogovitsyn denied those claims.
