Karelian Isthmus: "The attack yesterday against our outpost in the Muratta road area was conducted by two enemy platoons reinforced by smaller groups once they had taken the outpost. Own counter-attack began at 17.45, and by 19.45 about 40 of ours were inside the outpost. Enemy counter-attack that followed soon after was repulsed and by 01.07 the outpost was clear of enemies. Inside the outpost we've counted 15 enemy dead and have taken one wounded POW who died later. He was from Infantry Regiment 98. We estimate to have caused a total of 40-50 KIA to the enemy. Our unverified losses are 12 dead, 22 wounded and 3 missing. Platoon leader Lieutenant Sakama is among the fallen."
