Poti is one of Georgia's main ports on the Black Sea. There are also Georgian military air bases around the city.[citation needed] A major oil pipeline delivering oil to Europe also passes through here. As such it was an area where considerable Russian effort was made during the war.
Initial Air and Sea Attacks
The Russian air force bombed the port and its facilities on August 9 , attacking both the port and a nearby airbase.. Georgian residents elsewhere have reported that Russia has dropped fragmentation bombs in areas throughout Georgia, including the port city of Poti. American and Georgian officials said Russia appeared to be targeting military infrastructure, including radars and patrol boats at a Black Sea naval base and oil hub. An AP Television News crew in the oil port city of Poti saw one destroyed Georgian military boat, and two Russian armored vehicles and two Russian transport trucks.
The town of Senaki which is several miles inland from the port was captured by Russian Forces on the 11th of August Thus Poti was effectively cut off as the only major road linking it with the rest of Georgia passes through Senaki.. 2 Georgian helicopters taking off from Senaki airbase were also shot down. Although the Russians withdrew a day later, the action demonstrated the general helplessness and the inability of the Georgians to resist.
On August 14 it was reported by elements of the media that Russian troops had occupied the city, and that Georgian Naval vessels had been sunk, although it was not immediately clear whether this was accomplished by land, air or naval forces.
On August 19, 2008, Russian troops captured 22 Georgian soldiers and seized four American armoured Humvees in the port city.
The UNOSAT has carried out the analysis of satellite pictures of Poti, 25.08.2009. 6 submerged Georgian boats have been specified. There are no other visible damages in the city.
