Considering Russia's track record in recent time, I think it would be pretty safe to say that they do.
Russia is not shy of having its soldiers of targeting civilians (Chechnya is a recent example) and them bombing/attacking amongst other things Gori and Tblisi shows willingness to accept "collateral" damage by far.
Putin is a 2 bit dictator wannabe. It is extremely visible given recent history.

I think it would be very naive to think that Russian troops aren't/weren't targeting the remanding minorities in what is now Russian territories.
