A Tbilisi court has handed down seven- and ten-year prison terms over military-grade explosives smuggled through Türkiye
A Georgian court has jailed two Ukrainian nationals for smuggling military-grade explosives into the country.
The men were sentenced to seven and ten years respectively after being convicted by the Tbilisi City Court of illegally acquiring, storing, transporting, and selling hexogen as well as smuggling the explosive material into Georgia.
In September 2025, Georgian security services discovered 2.4 kg of hexogen – known as RDX and described by the authorities as a “high-powered explosive stronger than TNT” – hidden inside a Mercedes-Benz truck with Ukrainian license plates. The vehicle had reportedly entered Georgia through the Sarpi crossing from Türkiye, having traveled via Romania and Bulgaria.
