In Tbilisi, protests have escalated as demonstrators use a makeshift "fireworks mini-gun" against riot police, intensifying the conflict over the Georgian government's decision to freeze EU accession talks.
This follows a week of mass protests after the ruling Georgian Dream party announced it would delay the negotiations until 2028.
As protesters clash with police outside the Georgian parliament, President Salome Zourabichvili has condemned the government's use of force, while the ruling party accuses opposition groups of inciting violence.
What began as peaceful rallies has turned into a volatile standoff, raising concerns about the future of Georgia's European integration.
