According to the local population armed people in military forms broke into the school. The reason for the incident was Georgian banner at school; the school administration was congratulating pupils with the new school term in Georgian language.

The teachers tried to explain to the aggressors that the school was Georgian and they had right to greet pupils in Georgian; however, the attackers shouted at them and threatened them. Later, the aggressors tore down Georgian banner and left the territory.
