    Moscow - APA. Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed that additional forces had
    been sent to support peacekeepers in Georgia-Ossetia conflict zone, APA
    reports quoting RIA Novosti.

    The ministry said necessary assistance would be offered to the Russian
    peacekeepers and citizens of unrecognized republic. North Caucasus military
    district said that Russian combat equipment entered Tskhinvali. Georgian new
    agencies report that Russian military aircrafts bombed Vaziani base near
    Tbilisi at 15.10 by local time. Two bombs were reportedly dropped on the
    military base. No casualties are reported in the base. Gruziya Online
    website reports that the aircraft that bombed Vaziani base had taken off
    from the territory of Armenia. The agency mentions that there is an air
    regiment in Russian army's 102nd base in Gumru, Armenia. According to the
    agreement signed between Georgia and Armenia, Armenia can not allow any
    other state to attack Georgia from its territory.

    U.S. President George Bush met with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in
    Beijing and called on the parties to cease the fire in Georgia-Ossetia
    conflict zone immediately. European Union and OSCE released analogous
    messages.
