Georgian troops today launched a major military offensive to regain control over the breakaway region of South Ossetia, as Russia warns further aggression would lead to retaliation from Moscow.
Heavy battles were today raging around the capital, Tskhinvali, and buildings were ablaze as Georgia launched an air and tank attack on the separatist stronghold. Georgia claimed that Russia, which supports the separatists, sent fighter jets into Georgian airspace and dropped bombs.
Georgian units had almost surrounded Tskhinvali and had taken five rebel villages nearby. A series of huge explosions and rocket fire in and around Tskhinvali were heard this morning, and at least 15 people are reported dead
Georgia's minister for integration, Temur Yakobashvili, said Georgia's aim was not to take over the territory but to finish "a criminal regime".
