For the period of 6 7 and 8 August Village Tamarasheni has been shelled. On our way from Tamarasheni to Gori we have witnessed the bombing of five store house building located next to the tank divions.
I do not remember exactly the date because of the stress, I would assume it was 9 August around 4 pm. The air strike was launched by the Russian air planes. Our neighbors found refuge in this building, however the only one dead body of female was found ,the other corpse must have been burnt.
By the time the village was bombed the Georgian army was located nearby, but there were no fighting. The bombing was unexpected and sudden.
None of my family members stayed at the occupied territory, however, there is couple of old aged neighbors who stayed in the caller of my house. They hoped the situation would get better. I have not heard about their fate until this moment.
