During the day Russian units managed to capture the strategically important village of Ossów, but were repelled in the evening by a Polish counter-attack.

In Polish plans, the Leśniakowizna-Ossów road was to be used as a means of retreat from the first line of defences towards Warsaw and the second line of trenches, located slightly to the west of Ossów itself.
