Russian planes attack Georgia

Megvrekisi, Georgia
August 09, 2008

A RUSSIAN army convoy entered South Ossetia last night and Russian planes attacked a Georgian military base, after Georgian forces captured the capital of the breakaway province and warned of "war" if Moscow intervened.

Moscow threatened retaliation after 10 Russian peacekeepers in Tskhinvali were killed in a night-time Georgian artillery and air barrage. At least 15 civilians were killed.

Dozens of Russian tanks and military vehicles passed through the 4km-long Roki tunnel into South Ossetia. Russian television said they were expected in a few hours to reach Tskhinvali, which Georgian Reintegration Minister Temur Yakobashvili said had been captured by Georgian troops last night.
