Widespread power outages have been reported across Georgia, including major cities like Tbilisi, Batumi, Zugdidi, and Kutaisi, with authorities yet to issue a statement on the cause or scale of the disruption.

Shalva Esartia, an anti-government protester from Zugdidi, Georgia, who was on trial for alleged 'repeated' administrative offenses, has been released through a plea deal. He had faced charges introduced as part of tightened anti-protest laws.
