Rebels close Salang Highway as battles persist near Kabul
The Salang Highway linking Kabul and the Soviet Union was blocked by fighting near the Doshi and Khenjan bridges about 90 miles north of Kabul. Soviet reinforcements, including up to 85,000 troops across seven divisions, continued to pour into Afghanistan as clashes raged east and southwest of the capital and at Kandahar. Strong international reporting noted defections and counterclaims about army loyalties amid the Soviet intervention and Karmal regime pressure.

U N seeks Afghan action as U S arraigns Soviet Union
The United States wins a General Assembly arraignment of the Soviet Union over its Afghanistan intervention. The Security Council, blocked by a Soviet veto on sanctions for Iran, adopts a call for an emergency session of the 152 nation assembly to discuss Afghanistan. The assembly will meet at 3 p.m. EST. The move aims for a moral, propaganda effect rather than binding action.
