As Russian forces crossed the Gnila Lipa towards Lemberg (Lviv) in southeast Poland, General Aleksei Brusilov circled north and smashed into Austrian General Moritz von Auffenberg around Rawa Russka. While action was indecisive, following defeat further south at Gorodok and the fall of Lemberg, Austria abandoned Galicia except for Przemysl.
