#1 More from the article

Russian commanders announced earlier that they were sending more troops into South Ossetia and confirmed two Russian jets had been shot down over Georgia, without saying where.

In another development, separatists in Abkhazia, Georgia's other breakaway region, said they had launched air and artillery strikes on Georgian forces in the Kodori Gorge.

Apparently there have been Russian troops in Abkhazia, too.
