Tbilisi: Georgia's Interior Ministry said that Russian troops still remained in Georgian territory on Saturday.
Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said that Russian troops were still occupying the city of Gori.
Russian armoured vehicles rattled down near-empty streets, and the few remaining residents line up for bread and talk with the soldiers, witnesses said.
Most buildings appear intact, though a few on the outskirts were burned. Electricity is scarce, and there are very few people left, most of them men or elderly.
