Today we were on a clean-up operation in the village of Taramasheni. The Georgians were in such a bad mood while fleeing that some of them left behind their elderly and children because they were a burden on the road.

Today the situation is already normal, we control practically everything. It's necessary to carefully examine every village, and every basement and attic in the city.

We went to the former Russian peacekeeping forces base today. It's surrounded by corpses, the air is impregnated by the smell of decay, the roadside is lined with burned tanks and BMPs [infantry fighting vehicle].

This morning the city was subjected to shelling. Now there's shooting in the southern part of the republic.

The Georgians can't accept their own defeat. They are bad people; in one village, they caught a mother and her daughter, cut off their heads, and then mocked their corpses! We'll soon find out what else they've made mockeries of.

May they rest in peace...
