Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said in a televised address on Friday that he had declared all-out mobilization of reservists, Xinhua quoted Itar-Tass news agency as reporting. "The mobilization of reserve troops has been declared and is ongoing," he said. Over 100,000 reserve soldiers aged 25-45 have received military training in Georgia in the past few years, news reports said. Georgia said it had seized control over almost all towns and villages in its breakaway republic of South Ossetia, following a major ground and air offensive. However, the South Ossetian information committee said Georgian troops failed to seize its capital of Tskhinvali and the city continues resistance despite shelling.
