Eastern Front

SOUTHERN SECTOR

The 1st Tank Army, having redeployed over the last few days from the left wing to the center of the 1st Ukrainian Front, attacks in conjunction with the 4th Tank Army between Proskurov and Tarnopol. These new attacks hit the junction of the 4th and 1st Panzer Armies. After a brief struggle the German line is broken again. Vinnitsa falls to Soviet troops.

The 2nd Ukrainian Front's 6th Tank Army captures Mogilev Podolsky. The 5th Guards Tank Army also closes up to the Dniestr to the left of the 2nd Tank Army. Hollidt's 6th Army makes a stand on the Bug but is struck all along its line by the 3rd Ukrainian Front.
