Russian peacekeeping force said four blasts occurred on Sunday in Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia, Russian news agency reported.

There were no casualties in the blasts, Itar-Tass quoted Alexander Novitsky, assistant to the commander of the Collective Peacekeeping Force in the zone of the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict.

Last Monday, at least one person was killed and four others were injured in two blasts at a central market in the capital of Abkhazia Sukhumi. Another two blasts took place a day earlier in Abkhazia's Black Sea resort city of Gagra, injuring six people.

Abkhazia declared independence from Georgia in the 1990s after the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1991. But its self-proclaimed independence has yet to win international recognition. An uneasy ceasefire was monitored by peacekeepers from Russia in the region.
