Sultan Suleiman II personally led another Ottoman advance into the Balkans, taking a fresh army as far as Sofia before sending part of his vanguard northwest to Nish, where they were attacked and routed by an Imperial force under Prince Louis of Baden. The alarmed Sultan withdrew through Philippopolis, but a renewed Turkish offensive regained Nish the following year.
