This overview map presents a satellite-based damage assessment for the city of Gori, Georgia following the armed conflict between Georgian and Russian military forces in August 2008. Damaged buildings have been identified with WorldView-1 satellite imagery acquired on 19 August 2008. An estimated total of 33 buildings within the mapped extent of Gori have been classified either as destroyed or severely damaged. Ground craters likely caused by exploding munitions have also been marked. The approximate location of the Georgian train explosion on 24 August has been identified from Modis satellite fire detection data. Please note, this is an initial damage assessment and not all damage sites have been independently verified on the ground. Please send additions/corrections to UNOSAT.
