A woman covers her face after a Russian bombardment. Conflict broke out between Russia and Georgia in August over the breakaway region of South Ossetia. On August 7, Georgia launched an attack on South Ossetia, saying its aim was to restore constitutional order.

Russian troops occupied the area around Gori, but later pulled back under a ceasefire.
