Russia Sends Forces Into Georgian Rebel Conflict

Tensions over Georgia's rebel territory of South Ossetia exploded today when Georgia tried to assert control over the region with tanks and rockets, and Russia sent forces to repel the assault.

Fighting between Georgian forces and Russian-backed separatists raged in and around Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, after Tbilisi sent troops to take back the territory, which broke away in the 1990s.
