The occupation was completed later in the day. All bridges were blown up by the Germans. The Russians are going forward beyond Kharkiv. The Mediterranean air forces continued yesterday and last night their attacks on Southern Italy. American Liberators attacked Bari and during that attack 18 enemy planes were shot down.
