The Russians announced in a special report last night the capture of Rzhev. Two thousand of the garrison were killed, it was added, and 112 tanks and 78 guns were taken. The Germans earlier in the day admitted that their troops had evacuated the town.

The railway junction of Lgov, 50 miles west of Kursk, has been taken by the Russians, who are also continuing their westward advance from Kharkov. On the Kuban front they have occupied several more places.
