On August 11, 2008, a 21-member detachment of Georgian soldiers came face-to-face with Russian soldiers in Shindisi Village. The Russians greatly outnumbered Georgians and advised Georgians to surrender, but they refused. The battle continued for 45 minutes. All but four Georgian soldiers died in the fight.
