Russian troops have entered Georgia from the breakaway region of Abkhazia, as the conflict between the two neighbours appears to be broadening.

Moscow said it had launched a raid on the town of Senaki to stop Georgia from attacking Russian forces in South Ossetia, another breakaway region.

And Georgian officials say Russian troops have captured the town of Gori, in central Georgia.

In western Georgia, the towns of Zugdidi and Senaki have been attacked by the Russians. In central Georgia, Gori has been attacked and possibly captured. Capturing Gori cuts the main east-west road and rail line, effectively cutting Georgia in half.
