On a cautious counter-offensive into eastern Poland, Russian commander Nikolai Ivanov sent Generals Nikolai Ruzskii and Aleksei Brusilov west across the Zlota Lipa against a reinforced Austrian force under General Eduard Bohm-Ermolli on the Gnila Lipa. The Austrians were driven back on Lemberg (Lviv), while Brusilov circled north through Rawa Russka.
