I don't remember exactly the date of leaving my village and living place. Presumably on the 8th of August I and my villagers were gathered at the meeting place in the centre of the village Eredvi. At about 10 o'clock I saw 2 flying plains above the village, which belonged to Russian military forces. They attacked village Eredvi and its peaceful population. The bomb shells fell just 500 meters away from where we were, demolishing houses and killing peaceful villagers- Seiran Ozgenishvili, Tsiala Tarielashvili and so on… The mentioned bombing was witnessed by many villagers, whose names I don't remember. The bombing has been going on for few minutes, after that the planes left the territory, though after just a while they carried out a new air attack. At the time of air attack the Georgian armed forces were positioned on the territory of our village. They were under the attack of Russian military planes as well. The Georgian forces started firing in response. During the air attack I fell on the ground, though didn't get any injuries. After that accident I and my wife left the village Eredvi immediately. The next day I returned to the village to take the documents of my family members. The village was totally abandoned.
