Japanese resistance at Mubo eliminated
Tuesday, July 13, 1943 www.onwar.com

In New Guinea... The Japanese positions at Mubo are overrun and their force is wiped out.

On the Eastern Front... Forces of German Army Group South continue to make local attacks on the southern neck of the Kursk salient. Meanwhile, to the north of the salient, both Soviet pincers make good progress toward Orel.

In the Solomon Islands... American reinforcements arrive on Rendova and New Georgia. The attack on New Georgia makes more progress against, continued, heavy Japanese resistance.

In Sicily... The British 5th Division captures Augusta. Other British units are engaged by the German Panzer Division “Hermann Goring” around Vizzini. During the night Dempsey’s 8th Corps launches a drive toward Catania, attacking around Lentini.
