MOSCOW, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Russia's Defence Ministry called a blast that killed seven peacekeepers in Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia on Friday a "terrorist act" aimed at undermining efforts to restore peace in the region.

"Russia's Defence Ministry views the incident as a deliberately planned terrorist act aimed at preventing the sides from carrying out the Medvedev-Sarkozy plan," the ministry said in a statement, referring to a peace plan negotiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
