The two main railway junctions
at Bryansk on the eastern bank of the
River Desna have been captured.
One line is running to Smolensk and
the other to Gomel.
Bryansk is important for these lines.
13 miles North of Bryansk a place has
been captured. In this direction 40
places were taken. A station 11 miles
short of Nizjyn was also taken
and 140 villages were occupied.
At Romny the Germans have been
squeezed into a tighter corner.
In the area between Donets and
Dnjepr the advance amounts to 5
miles and 10 miles in some sectors.
The Russians are now 10 miles due
East of Zaporizja. South of Naples the
heaviest fighting takes place in Italy.
