Georgia has announced that a Russian MiG-29 fighter shot down a Georgian Hermes 450 unmanned surveillance drone over Abkhazia, a Georgian province that proclaimed independence from Georgia a few years ago after a rather nasty civil war.
This led to a rather heated 40-minute conversation between the presidents Putin and Saakashvili, and now Georgia has requested for the UN Security Council to be convened to address what Georgia calls "an act of military aggression."
