Conflicting Reports on Tskhinvali

Both the Georgian and South Ossetian sides have claim that they control most of the part of the breakaway region’s capital.

The Georgian officials claim that the governmental forces control up to 70% of the city.

The secessionist authorities, however, said that their troops started forcing out the Georgian troops out of the city as a result of a counter-offensive. They have also claimed destroying four Georgian battle tanks.
