The Russians again advanced rapidly and had
the most successful day on the Kharkiv front
yet.
Two places 30 and 40 miles west of Kharkiv
were reached. 3 more stations on the rail
northwest from Kharkiv were captured.
Much war material and considerable
territory was gained. Trostianets was
captured. The only direction of escape is south
and southwest of Kharkiv.
In 2 days fighting 315 railway trucks with
supplies were captured.
Our bombers from this country were out over
Germany last night. During the day road
and rail targets in Northern France were
attacked.
7 planes were destroyed and we lost 3.
Steady progress is also reported from the
Bryansk front but no change is reported from
other parts of the fronts.
There is no important news from Sicily
since yesterday's coast to coast
advance.
