Overview

• The Interior Ministry says 15 suspects were identified and 13 detained over the October 4 unrest, as prosecutors charged five opposition figures with calls for a coup and related crimes, with court appearances expected on October 7.
• Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze called the events a “fifth” attempt at revolution with foreign support and said future rallies would be treated as a continuation of unrest subject to systematic measures.
• Demonstrators breached barriers at the presidential residence in Tbilisi on election day, prompting special forces to use pepper spray and water cannons, and officials reported six injured protesters and 21 injured law‑enforcement officers.
• Opposition supporters again blocked Rustaveli Avenue on October 6 but cleared the roadway early after the prime minister’s televised remarks, leaving smaller groups on the sidewalks.
• Georgia’s State Security Service reported seizing weapons and explosives it says were acquired on instructions linked to a Ukrainian military unit, an allegation reported as an official claim and not independently verified in the coverage.
