That's a new one. Did you just think it up? Source?

Another source for you...

Interviewee (I): Andrei Illarionov, former economic adviser to Putin

if we are to speak when the war started, we can determine not from Russian side, not from Georgian side, but statements made by South Ossetian representatives about beginning of war [(hostilities)] and were voiced on August 4, repeatedly, on [or about] August 3, 4 and 5 there turned out quite large number of people in Tskhinvali, that had never been there before, who were reporting that they had arrived there to participate in the war.

I: whatever concerns use of [these systems], there is a large amount of information about the fact that evidently, both side were using [these systems]; from Ossetian side heavy artillery was also used, which was prohibited and should not have been there. From these far range artillery there was a shelling of Georgian position during one week, from August 1 to August 7. [] and our task now is to determine by what means far range artillery, heavy artillery, which is prohibited in the conflict zone, ended up there and what role Russian peacekeepers played in this and how they permitted this to happen.

I:[] Upon entering troops of Russia into Georgia the provision of the Constitution of Russia was violated, as there was no consent of Federation Council. And even now, after passing how many, 12 days, from the date when official Russian government is counting days, there is no decision of the Federation Council on this issue. [] this is a breach of UN Charter, Russia, for the first time [] after December of 79 ended up being an aggressor irrespective of what [actions were taken by the other side].

I can see where confusion comes from in a statement like this. The locations, given in reports from Georgian sources, are Georgian villages within South Ossetia.

Again, if you have anything that shows a target outside of South Ossetia. I would appreciate seeing it.
