          At night 300 soldiers from the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Polish First Army land in the area of the Solec neighborhood. They join in the fights almost immediately.

          From the very morning the Home Army troops, now supported by the soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment, are repelling strong German attacks on the barricade on Okrąg Street and Solec, blocking access to the interior of the district from the north.
          The Germans are intensifying their efforts, striving to quickly eliminate the beachhead. They capture the houses at 16 Zagórna and 5/7 Idźkowskiego Streets.
          The deployment of further reinforcements from Praga to the left bank of the Vistula River fails to take place because of heavy enemy firewall.

          In Czerniaków, Second Lieutenant Andrzej Romocki "Morro", the commander of the "Rudy" company of the "Zośka" battalion, is killed during the reception of the landing forces of the Polish First Army.

          The Germans capture an insurgent hospital at 9 Zagórna Street, where they murder some wounded insurgents. The rest of the partisans and the personnel are sent to the Gestapo headquarters at Szucha Avenue.

          Another insurgent stronghold - Sielce - falls. Those defenders who are still able to hold a weapon man the Mokotów escarpment from Belgijska Street to the Królikarnia ("Rabbit House") Palace.

          Soviet planes bomb the German positions in the area of the University of Technology and Mokotów Fields and the airport in Okęcie.
