Russia Bombs Georgian Territory

On 6 August, at approximately 19:30 Tbilisi time, two Russian frontline SU type aircraft violated Georgian airspace and fired a 1-ton precision-guided missile at a Georgian village, located more than 80 kilometers from the Russian-Georgian border, near the city of Gori. According to Georgian civil and military radar reports and multiple eyewitness accounts, the planes entered Georgian airspace at 19:31 flying at low altitude in a southerly direction over the separatist region of South Ossetia before launching the missile at the village of Tsitelubani. Georgian radars indicate that the planes took off from the Russian military airbase located in Mozdok, in the Russian Republic of North Ossetia.
