The Battle of Niakhura, also known as the Battle of Iori River and Battle of Kakabeti, took place on 7 November 1800. During this battle, the invading army of Umma Khan V, which had entered the territory of the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti (Georgia) in alliance with the Georgian prince Alexander, suffered a crushing defeat.The victorious forces consisted of two Russian battalions under Major Generals Ivan Lazarev and Vasily Gulyakov, supported by the Georgian militia commanded by princes Ioane and Bagrat. This battle marked a decisive episode in the defense of eastern Georgia against incursions from the north Caucasian highlands, consolidating Russian influence in the region and weakening the opposition to the reigning Georgian monarch.
