As the result of this Austrian advance the adjoining enemy forces to the eastward along the Wieprz River had been obliged to fall back beyond Tarnograd, and by the 6th of July Vienna summarized the Austrian captures in these battles as having grown to forty-one officers, 11,500 men. The Austrians, however, could make no further headway.

Tarnograd itself was occupied by the Teutons on the 17th, and on the 18th the Russians retreated behind the Tanev.
