In the advance on Lemberg (Lviv), Russian forces circled north through Rawa Russka, while west of the city around Gorodok, Austrian Generals Moritz Auffenberg and Svetozar Boroevic met Russians under Generals Nicolai Ruzskii and Aleksei Brusilov. Very heavy fighting forced the Austrians back across the San and the exhausted Russians besieged Przemysl.
