Georgian troops have launched a full-scale bombardment of separatists
in the breakaway region of South Ossetia, raising the risk of all-out
war with Russia and other former Soviet states.

In a televised statement, the Georgian president, Mikhail Saakashvili,
said Russian aircraft had bombed several Georgian villages and other
civilian facilities. He said there were injuries and damage to the
buildings.

"A full-scale aggression has been launched against Georgia," he said,
before urging Russia to immediately stop the bombing. "Georgia will
not yield its territory or renounce its freedom," he said.
