It’s true that, at first, there was very few photographs coming out of Tskhinvali. You have to remember that the place was very dangerous. It’s not like an aftermath of an Israeli or American strike that can be photographed at leasure. It was a real warzone and several reporters got killed trying to get there. Including the ones embedded with the Russian army.

But there was something. For aexample, here is the video of Georgian troops shelling Tskhinvali with Grads.

Shouldn’t that be a war crime?

There was also plenty of eyewitness accounts by refugees. However, for some reason our media went to great length to ignore it. Here is an unintentionally funny example.
