GARABECH WINS BACK SORN JUNCTION

Tanks and truck-borne infantry regain the road in a limited counterstroke.

By GNN CORRESPONDENTS

SORN — Garabech has
recaptured the western
junction lost in December,
using armor to support
infantry moving along
parallel tracks. Medevar's
forward troops withdrew
after their road positions
were threatened from
the flank.

Garabech commanders
halted the advance beyond
the junction rather than
pressing into the next
defensive belt. Engineers |
are clearing wrecks and
restoring a single lane for
supplies to the bridge

The victory improves
access to the crossing, but
the surrounding heights
remain contested. Units |
returning to the road found
positions they had occupied
before, now more heavily
damaged and overlooked
by new enemy gun
emplacements.
