Turbulent Engagement Near Widdin Reported by Dispatch
Belgrade reports a major clash between Imperial and Turkish forces near Widdin with Count Kevenhuller commanding over 20,000 troops. Turkish reinforcements crossed the Timoc Danube junction, built two bridges, and attacked German and Saxon grenadiers. Kevenhuller held a gallant defense with a third of the enemy, the Turks suffered heavy casualties, and the Imperialists abandoned the blockade the next day.
