The 2007 Bokhundjara incident, in Georgia more commonly known as the special operation Kodori 2007, was a confrontation between Georgian Interior Ministry commandos and forces of Georgia's breakaway republic of Abkhazia and Russia near the de facto border in Tkvarcheli District on September 20, 2007. The United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) launched an independent investigation of the incident. On October 11, 2007, it released a progress report, confirming the incident took place on Abkhaz-controlled territory at the foot of Mount Bokhundjara, thus confirming the Abkhaz version of the event. On October 27, 2007, Georgia released the arrested Abkhazians and handed them over to the U.N. observers as a "sign of good will."
