The USS McFaul is the first of three ships to arrive in Georgia A US warship has arrived in the Georgian port of Batumi carrying the first delivery of aid supplies by sea. Russian forces are still in control of the military port of Poti, to the north of Batumi, after Moscow withdrew most of its combat troops from the country. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who brokered the ceasefire, has urged Moscow to pull out those forces too, and called a summit of EU leaders. Meanwhile, Georgia said a train full of fuel was blown up by a mine near Gori. A huge plume of black smoke could be seen across the area and witnesses said the force of the blast had forced some of the train's wagons off the tracks.

He said there had been no casualties. Georgian authorities had been hoping to help thousands of refugees return to Gori on Sunday having carried out a mine-sweeping operation in the town, which lies close to the border with the breakaway province of South Ossetia. Georgia's Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze said it would be important to see the extent of the damage, once the fire had been extinguished. "The railway is vital, not just for the Georgian economy but for the economies of neighbouring countries," he said. The track runs through the capital Tbilisi before splitting and running to the Black Sea ports of Poti and Batumi and south-west towards the Turkish border. One of the train's wagons was marked Azpetrol - a company based in Baku, Azerbaijan. Displaced President Sarkozy called a special summit of EU leaders to discuss the Georgian crisis, to be held in Brussels on 1 September. His office said the summit, arranged at the request of various European countries, would discuss the future of EU relations with Russia as well as aid for Georgia. Russia's four-day war with Georgia erupted after Tbilisi tried to retake South Ossetia - which broke away in 1992 and was supported by Moscow - in a surprise offensive on 7 August. The offensive followed a series of clashes between Georgian and South Ossetian forces.

Crisis day-by-day Eyewitness: Russian withdrawal Russia's game plan The conflict left hundreds of people dead and created tens of thousands of refugees. Many have been returning to their damaged or destroyed homes since the Russian withdrawal. The UN's refugee agency UNHCR reported this week that, according to Russian estimates, more than 30,000 people from South Ossetia had fled to North Ossetia. Another 128,000 were estimated to have been displaced within Georgia. International aid agencies are working on the ground and the US has already delivered some aid by military cargo plane. The destroyer USS McFaul is reported to be carrying supplies such as blankets, hygiene kits and baby food. The supplies will be unloaded by a floating crane as the port is too shallow for the ship to dock. Two more US ships are due to arrive later this week. The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, aboard the American warship, said that apart from delivering aid, the arrival of US naval personnel is undoubtedly intended to send a signal to the Russians - that America is serious about its support for Georgia. But, he adds, the prospect of US and Russian armed forces actually meeting on Georgian soil is one that both sides seem keen to avoid. Batumi is not a natural harbour for a naval vessel the size of the USS McFaul to dock, but Russian forces have been fortifying their positions at the key port of Poti, further up the coast. On Saturday, Mr Sarkozy welcomed the withdrawal of Russian forces so far, but urged Moscow to pull its troops back from Poti and Senaki, which is the site of Georgia's main air base. Russia says it has a duty and a right to keep its forces in a buffer zone around the breakaway territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia - though it acknowledges that Poti falls well outside that zone.
