So my brave Nato's why you don't send your humanitarian bombers like you did over Serbia in 1999.Russian jets have carried out a series of strikes on military targets in the central Georgian city of Gori, close to the breakaway region of South Ossetia.
Most of the targets seem to have been military bases, but Georgian officials said a number of civilians had been killed in residential buildings.
BBC reporters saw seriously injured civilians being rescued from inside.
Earlier, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said his country was seeking "to force the Georgian side to peace".
Russian military commanders also announced they were sending more troops into South Ossetia to support its peacekeeping operations.
The BBC's James Rogers in Moscow says diplomatic initiatives to end the fighting have so far proved fruitless.
On Friday evening, the UN Security Council failed to agree on the wording of a statement calling for a ceasefire.
Russia holds a permanent place on the Council, and has the power of veto over any official statements that it regards as unfair or inaccurate.
Permanent members Britain, the US and France, are pinpointing what they say is Russia's aggression as the key factor in the slide towards war, while Moscow insists Georgia is to blame.
After days of exchanging heavy fire with the Russian-backed separatists, Georgian forces moved on Thursday night to regain control of the region, which has had de facto independence since a war against Georgia that ended in 1992.
In response, Moscow sent armoured units across the border. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said about 1,500 people had so far been killed, including 15 of his country's soldiers.
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said 30 Georgians had been killed in two days of fighting and that Russia was at war with his country.
NATO, my ass.
