Soviet Drive Presses Huns Toward Kremenchug Across Dnieper
Russian communique reports a three pronged Red Army advance toward Kremenchug on the Dnieper with nine miles to go on the eastern flank. Other columns reached the river as German defense sapped under heavy Soviet artillery and air power. Farther north and south, Vitebsk and Gomel defenses crumble as Red troops push toward Mogilev, Orsha, and the Baltic region. The fall of Vitebsk would threaten communications to Leningrad and shore up a Baltic advance.
