Protesters in the Russian-backed breakaway region of Abkhazia, Georgia, have stormed the parliament building, demanding the resignation of the region's leader.
The unrest was sparked by a controversial investment agreement with Moscow, which many locals view as giving too much control to Russian interests. Demonstrators used a truck to break through the gates of the parliament, and they have refused to leave the building until their demands are met. The protests reflect growing discontent over the region's close ties with Russia and fears of increased Russian influence.
The situation remains tense as negotiations between protesters and the government continue.
