Fifth Army formations attack
positions covering the lower
approaches to Arvek Pass in
cooperation with Hugait troops.
Silvian mechanized units secure
sections of the road while mountain
infantry presses from the upper
slopes.

Syran forces withdraw from several
exposed posts but retain fortified
ground beyond the ravine. The
operation restores contact with
isolated Allied positions and eases
pressure on the pass. Dask keeps
the advance limited until supply
traffic can follow.

The route remains dangerous

and is not yet open to unrestricted
movement.
