The military situation in the Causcus conflict remains tense with Russian forces advancing from Abhazia to the western Georgian city of Senaki.
The Russian Defence Ministry said its troops had eliminated the threat by Georgian troops to South Ossetia and now in the process of withdrawing. Senaki is located near the border with the breakaway region of Abhazia. Unconfirmed reports said Russian troops had occupied the city of Gori earlier on Monday, which lies near the border with South Ossetia. The Russian Defence Ministry has denied the reports. Meanwhile the provincial government of South Ossetia has said that Georgian forces have started bombarding towns in the region again.
