Soviet headquarters states: “In the area of Stalingrad fierce fighting has continued. In one sector enemy _ infantry and tanks attacked our positions and, at the price of huge losses, occupied one block. Several hundred of the enemy were killed and 18 German tanks were destroyed. Our pilots shot down nine aircraft and our anti-air-craft batteries shot down five. Northwest of Stalingrad our troops waged fighting of local importance. Artillery dispersed enemy infantry preparing to attack. On another part of the same front three attacks were repulsed. “In the area of Mozdok enemy attacks were repulsed. Soviet marines made a landing behind the enemy lines on the Black Sea coast and inflicted losses, and returned safely.”
