Armed clashes between the Georgian army and separatists broke out in the South Ossetia region in early hours of Aug. 8 of 2008. Georgian forces had managed to seize the regional capital, however, Russia supporting the separatists responded by bringing in its army into the region and later into other regions, starting to bombard various targets across the country.
Following the conflict, Russia recognized independence of Georgia’s breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, while the rest of the international community views them as occupied Georgian territories.
