Georgia: Russian military advancing
Russian forces have moved out Georgia’s breakaway regions and into other areas of the country, Georgian and Russian sources said Monday.
The Georgian city of Gori — near the border with flashpoint South Ossetia — is falling to the Russian military, Georgian officials said Monday.
A CNN crew in Gori saw Georgian forces piling into trucks and leaving the city at high speed.
The Georgia Interior Ministry also said Zugdidi and Senaki — towns near the other breakaway region of Abkhazia — were also now under Russian control.

A Georgian Foreign Ministry statement said “several dozen Russian bombers” were over Georgia Monday afternoon “intensively bombing Tbilisi, Poti, villages in Adjara, and elsewhere.”
“Overnight, as many as 50 Russian bombers were reported operating simultaneously over Georgia, targeting civilian populations in cities and villages, as well as radio and telecommunications sites,” the statement said.
