Maaselkä Isthmus: Fighting continues in Suurniemi.

The Soviet troops entrentched in Suurniemi get reinforcements during the night.
On the morning of the 7th, the Finnish Jägers continue their attack against the enemy troops.

In and around the trenches lay the bodies of roughly two enemy battalions.

In Helsinki, a suspected spy escapes from custody, killing one and wounding two police officers. In the ensuing manhunt, the suspect is wounded and captured, and sentenced to death for treason.

Finnish daily losses: 85
