In Tbilisi, Georgia, police clashed with anti-government protesters attempting to storm the presidential palace. Security forces used water cannons and pepper spray to disperse the crowd, which protested against the ruling Georgian Dream party's alleged election fraud. The protests coincided with local elections, largely boycotted by the opposition. Organizer Paata Burchuladze called for the arrest of party leaders, while demonstrators demanded accountability from the government amidst a crackdown on dissent.
