There they go again

Is the the worst clash between Russia and a foreign military since the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Russia landed ground troops off of warships into the disputed territory of Abkhazia and broadened its bombing campaign to the Georgian capital’s airport. Georgian authorities said Sunday morning that they expect Russian attacks to come on three fronts — from Gali and Zugdidi, two spots on the Abkhazian border, and from Ossetia, according to Gigi Ugulada, the mayor of Tbilisi. They also expect more bombing on the Kodori Gorge, the only part of Abkhazia that remains under Georgian control.

Along the road, refugees carried their possessions in wheelbarrows and plastic bags toward the Georgian city of Gori, NYT reports.

The two sides may have different definitions of where the border with
Georgia lies. The official borders of the administrative region of
South Ossetia are larger than the area traditionally held by
pro-Russian separatists, so if Russia occupied the whole administrative
region it would be moving into areas normally held by Georgia.
