I lived in the village Krabi (district of Gori) with my husband Zaza Anishvili, my mother-in-law Meditso Papaelashvili, 2 sons Jemal and Omar and my daughter Medea.
on 9 August it was about 7 when the Russian Aircrafts began attacking, 3-4 houses were destroyed, Some people died, among them Dodo Unapkoshvili. Valerian Unapkoshvili got injured. 8-10 head of cattle were slaughtered.
The same day at about 1 I witnessed the second air strike by Russian aircrafts. The air attack completely destroyed Mamuka Tevdorashvili's house and slaughtered people. Mamuka Tevdorashvili, Tsiala Bidzinashvili, Nazi Tevdorashvili, Amiran Tevdorashvili, Anzor Bidzinashvili, Valiko Shevardenidze, they all died. Meditso Aniashvili, Rusudan Rcheulishvli, Temo Tevdorashvili got injured. By that time Georgian military units were in the village. My mother-in-law and I were at home when the air strike took place, it damaged my house and completely destroyed or damaged houses of Gocha Shevardenidze, Amiran Tevdorashvili and Nikoloz Tevdorashvili. We, peaceful civilians, were in danger. Valiko Shevardenidze died in the street and Anzor Bidzinashvili died a bit later because of terrible corporal injury.
On 9 August I left my house and went to Village Tkviavi on foot where someone took me by a car to Gori to my relatives and then I went to Tbilisi
