Berlin issued a detailed official statement describing Bavarian forces storming forts west of Dunkowiezki past Styria, capturing the remaining 1,400 man garrison, with eighteen heavy and five light cannons. Russian attempts to escape east of Sagoslau failed, leaving numerous casualties. The Prussian guard under Count Bothmer breached a strong Stry ridge position near Stry, capturing 53 officers, 3,182 men, eight cannon and fifteen machine guns. Zeppelin raids on London trigger antiGerman unrest, with shops attacked and rioters looted. Incendiary bombs caused fires but no public-building damage.

Italian successes on land and sea are reported along the Italo Austrian frontier, while outpost fighting continues near Arras and other zones.
