Protesters erected barricades on Rustaveli Avenue.

In particular, near the Opera and Ballet Theater, protesters erected barricades using garbage cans, fences, and various objects to block the space between them and the special forces unit that has set up a cordon near the Tbilisi Marriott.

Protesters periodically shine lasers at law enforcement officers and use pyrotechnics against them. The special forces unit fires so-called gas canisters in their direction.
