Tanks and war materials of all kinds, in addition to many prisoners, were taken. In the Koritza sector the Greeks have crossed a high ridge in the mountain range of Morava and are advancing on the west spur. Greek planes successfully bombed the Italian aerodrome at Argyrokastron in Albania, and on the field of battle machine-gunned retreating enemy columns .
