Soviet offensives near Minsk escalate as outflanks form
Red Army units push toward Minsk from the Bereina area while two major outflanking moves target Polotsk and the Minsk railway.

Rokossovsky’s White Russian army advances along the Bobruisk to Minsk corridor, threatening the Minsk Warsaw line. The Borisov vector is described as marshy, hindering tanks and troops.
