The NBG continues the attack from Valkeala to Utti to take the Utti airfield and cut enemy MSR Highway 6.
1.situation[INDENT]a)Enemy:[/INDENT]
[INDENT]
The enemy attack along Highway 15 has been stalled as the road was cut by NBG. Enemy counterattacks to retake Valkeala have been repelled by friendly units that were moved in through NBG after Valkeala was taken. The areas south and west of Valkeala are under strong enemy control.
The enemy attack along Highway 6 has continued. The enemy brigade main body has passed the area of Utti this morning. In the Utti region our drone recon and radio intel indicate the enemy has at least a rear command post (for the brigade?), CSS units and artillery battalion. The enemy has also a reserve force of a tank company west of Utti. Some fighting units have been pulled north of Highway 6 to guard the left flank - the intel guys think it's a mixed company with AT weapons, probably no tanks. They have probably engineer support to create barriers. The enemy air activity has been minimal due to losses during the last few days, but they have used Hinds to support the attack along Highway 6.
b)Own:
Jaeger Battalion 101 with Indep. ATGM Coy 313 have stopped the enemy counterattacks to retake Valkeala.
NBG is resupplied and ready to continue the attack.
