Georgian policemen evacuate a Georgian soldier wounded in battle with South Ossetian separatists, in the town of Gori, Georgia (or is it now South Ossetia!?), 08 August, 2008.

As South Ossetia struggles to gain independence from the former Georgia, Russian tanks and troops surged into the province to battle with Georgia's claim over the region.

The fighting has left hundreds dead.
