U.S. condemns "rocket attack" on Georgia

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday condemned what it termed "a rocket attack" against Georgia this week, and called on Moscow and Tbilisi to seek a peaceful resolution in Georgia's separatist South Ossetia region.

A missile, weighing about a metric ton, landed in a farmer's field about 65 km (40 miles) west of Tbilisi on Monday. It did not explode but sparked a war of words between Georgia and Russia, reigniting old tensions between the two former members of the Soviet Union.

"The U.S. condemns the August 6 rocket attack against Georgia," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said in a strongly worded statement issued late on Wednesday.
