October 1853 CE

The Turks capture the Georgian-Ottoma border fort of Saint Nicholas in a surprise night attack on October 27-28.

They now push about twenty thousand troops across the River Cholok border.

Being outnumbered, the Russians abandon Poti and Redut Kale and draw back to Marani.

Both sides will remain immobile for the next seven months.
