Voice of America: Georgian Forces Attack South Ossetia

Georgian military forces have fought their way into the capital of the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said Friday he had ordered an all-out offensive to regain control of the breakaway area.

Russian "peacekeeping" troops are in Ossetia. Georgia accuses them of aiding the rebels. Looks like combat might soon or already be happening between Georgian and Russian ground forces
