Another Russian army (one hundred and twenty thousand men, mostly cavalrymen, Streltsy, Ukrainian Cossacks and Kalmyks) under the command of Boris Sheremetev had set out for the lower reaches of the Dnieper to take the Ottoman forts there.

The main fort at Kazy-Kerman is taken when its powder magazine blows up, but the Russians are not able to hold the area and withdraw most of their forces.
