Русская версияThere are unconfirmed reports that a ceasefire between Georgia and
its breakaway province of South Ossetia has been violated, only
hours after coming into effect.
Russia's Interfax news agency says
rocket fire has struck the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali. The
two sides agreed to a ceasefire on Thursday after a week of
mounting clashes, and are to meet for Russian mediated talks on
Friday. In a televised address, Georgian President Mikheil
Saakashvili suggested that Russia could guarantee South Ossetia's
autonomy, if the province agreed to remain part of Georgia. South
Ossetia broke from Georgian control during a war in the early
1990s.
