A jet flew on 8 august of 2008 from Tskhinvali or Russia at about 11-12 o'clock. It was above Gori, possibly carrying out spy flight and then it threw three bombs. There was not a victim as a result of the first bombing. Tsmindatskhali military base was bombed after several hours. 4 bombs were dropped at 11 o'clock on 9 of august on the Verkhvebi territory, where there is tank unit and there are houses, about 7 storied blocks of flats. There was emergency station on the ground floor of one of those houses. Two houses were burnt to ground, one was badly damaged. One bomb was dropped on a private house on Sukhishvili Street, where Kharguashvilis lived. Maia Vazagashvili, Dato and Zaza Razmadze and his pregnant wife died in that house. They have a child. Injured child of Maia Vazagashvili is in one of the hospitals of Tbilisi. One of the emergency doctors and Venera Maisuradze, living in this house died this time as well.
There are other dead apart from the above mentioned people, though I don't know who they were. Giorgi Mamukashvili died in tank division, he has 3-4 years old child. Soso Bzishvili was injured, who is Tbilisi hospital now.
When warplanes entered they were flying overhead too close to the ground and dropped several bombs together. Bombings started unexpectedly, we didn't even have time to go to go downstairs from the second floor.
Explosions were heard for 2-3 hours after bombing tank division. Weapon store was in fire.
