Battles in the Liakhvi Gorge
The Battles in the Liakhvi Gorge were fought between Russian and Georgian forces during the Russo-Georgian War. The battle began with the entry of Russian troops into the territory of South Ossetia through the Roki Tunnel after 2008 Caucasus exercises. After the end of the battle, units of the Ossetian militia army burned several villages located in the Georgian enclave north of Tskhinvali.
