Ground forces press toward Baghdad across southern Iraq
Allied troops crossed the Euphrates and pushed 150 miles into Iraqi territory toward Baghdad. In Basra and Umm Qasr, urban fighting lingered, while Marines and British forces moved through desert terrain on Highway 80. Nasiriyah fell as U.S. forces secured crossings, with reports of desertions and heavy supply-line traffic nearby.
