    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Residents of Tskhinvali come out of the basement
    where they were hiding from Georgian shelling. Firings hushed. There
    is no electricity, water and gas. South Ossetian Defense Ministry
    officials say Georgian military abandoned the territory and people
    are searching for wounded.

    "We should first of all do something to help those in the city
    hospital. It's still unclear what happened to the people. Many have
    lost their homes. People fear that the assault will be resumed at
    night. There is no panic but shock," a man said, Vesti reports.

    On the eve on the Olympic Games in Beijing, Georgia launched an
    intrusion into South Ossetia. Civilians and Russian peacekeepers were
    killed and wounded.

    Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called the assault "a grave violation
    of the international law" and said the deaths of the Russian citizens
    will not go unpunished.

    Russian forces were sent to support peacekeepers. Staff headed by
    Russian army land forces commander Vladimir Boldyrev was established
    in Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia.
