TBILISI (Reuters) - Russian troops have entered Georgia's Black Sea port of Poti, an oil and cargo shipping centre, Georgian Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze said on Monday.

"According to our information, Russian troops have entered Poti, as well as being in Senaki and Zugdidi," he said in a televised address, referring to two other towns in western Georgia.

The Russian defense ministry earlier said its forces had left Senaki. Russian bombers targeted Poti this week as part of an offensive to drive Georgian forces from the breakaway region of South Ossetia.
