Zugdidi hostage negotiations: Two victims released

"Two hostages have been released after negotiations," Vladimer Bortsvadze, the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, said, adding that hostage negotiations are still underway.

"I refuse to disclose negotiation-related details intentionally, and I have one single request to journalists: refrain from live streaming what is now happening here as it will prevent the negotiations from running smoothly," Vladimer Bortsvadze said.

The number of hostages inside the bank is now unknown.

An armed man broke into the Bank of Georgia and took hostages on Gamsakhurdia street in the Zugdidi municipality earlier today. The hostage-taker demanded USD 500,000 in cash and security guarantees.

A special operation was launched a couple of hours ago and is still in progress.
