| Russia says 64 soldiers dead in fight with Georgia |
| 2008-08-21 |
| A top Russian general said 64 of the country's soldiers were killed in this month's fighting with Georgia and 323 were wounded. The figure given Wednesday by Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovistsyn, deputy head of the general staff, reduces the fatality toll from the initial figure of 74 but substantially raises the number of wounded. Russia previously had said about 170 were wounded. |
