The state department is urging all American citizens to leave the
country of Georgia as soon as possible.
The call comes amid reports of ongoing Russian operations against
Georgian military and civilian sites.
Officials are organizing a third evacuation convoy for Americans that
want to leave the war-torn country and head to neighboring Armenia.
Nearly 200 Americans have fled Georgia since Sunday.
The U.S. Embassy remains open in Georgia’s capital.
