Operation Update/Summary
Following the success of Operation Frostbite and the Battle for Gudauta, NATO forces continue to expand control in western Georgia. However, hostile factions still maintain defensive positions in the Zugdidi region, using the nearby river line as a defensive barrier to slow further advances. Reconnaissance indicates the presence of fortified ground positions, air-defense assets, and defensive strongpoints around the town and along the river crossing points. These defenses are protecting supply routes and preventing friendly ground forces from advancing north. Operation Ice Curtain aims to break this defensive line by destroying key enemy positions in and around Zugdidi and along the nearby river.
