Contrary to earlier reports, three rather than six Georgian servicemen were killed and seven others wounded in the Tskhinvali conflict area last night, a Georgian Defense Minister official told Interfax on Thursday. The wounded men are in serious conditions, he said. An official in the Georgian Sheeta Kartli area police said earlier on Thursday that six Georgian servicemen were killed and seven wounded when Ossetians shelled Georgian positions Wednesday evening.
