Following the Romanian victory at Maresti, the German and Austro-Hungarian forces have launched a counter-offensive August 6 towards Mărășești. So far, the Romanian and Russian defenders have held their line, forcing the Germans to turn their offensive slightly north-western, while suffering moderate casualties.
Two days later, the Central Powers launched another offensive just to the north, near Oituz. Here too the Romanian defenders have held the line, although a series of breakthroughs and counterattacks from both sides of the fighting have caused the defense to be much more lively.

The fighting at Rumbo, German East Africa has ended August 10 with a British-Portuguese victory. The Allies suffered nearly 400 casualties, while the Germans had 1,500 killed and 600 captured.
