This McClatchy report seems to think so, seeing how the Russian claims and the hospital records/facts on the ground don't jive:

During war and fighting, expect that both sides will exaggerate the actions of their enemies, and minimize whatever they have done.
If there's a time to double check claims, it's definitely when they are coming out of a war zone.
From my admittedly unobjective POV, it looks like
both sides (Georgia and the Ossetians/Russians) may have failed to properly avoid harming civilians.
Will either be charged with war crimes? Doubt it. Has never happened before with conflicts this short.
