Local villagers wave as Georgian trops move towards the South Ossetian border in an unknown location in Georgia on August 7, 2008. Georgia reported 'large-scale battles' in the breakaway region of South Ossetia, with officials saying 23 people had been wounded in clashes in the volatile mountain province. Russia and Georgia meanwhile traded accusations of aggression in South Ossetia, which broke away from Georgia in the early 1990s and whose unrecognised government is supported by Moscow.
