At Flamanda, the Austro-Hungarian Navy’s Danube flotilla dispatched patrol boats to oppose the Romanian bridgehead, which were shelled and forced to retreat. A set of river monitors returned, but they too were damaged and forced to retreat. However, with the Transylvania operations swinging against Romania, the Flamanda offensive was halted October 5 and the forced pulled back into defensive lines.
At Monastir, in Macedonia, Serbian forces attempted to force the bend of the river Crna October 5 but were pushed back across both there and at various nearby villages.
At Le Transloy, the British forces continue their offensive, although forces have withdrawn in a few zones, allowing the Germans to retake their lost trenches. At nearby Ancre Heights, also part of the Somme offensive, some advances have achieved their objectives, although German defenses in other areas have forced a halt until earlier today; however, today’s assault was blunted by well-entrenched German infantry and artillery.
