On 9 August 2008 during the 2008 South Ossetia war, several media outlets reported that Tbilisi had been sunk in a nighttime action, either by a SS-N-9 "Siren" (likely from a Nanuchka ship) or a SS-N-12 "Sandbox" (from the Slava ship Russian cruiser Moskva 2 ) fired by the Russian navy, which was moving a flotilla into position to enforce a 50 nautical miles Total Exclusion Zone (TEZ) around the Georgian Navy's main homeport of Poti.
