The Battle of Borowe Mlyny, one of many skirmishes of the January Uprising, took place on 16 April 1863 near the village of Borowe Mlyny in southeastern part of Russian-controlled Congress Poland.
300 Polish insurgents under Colonel Marcin Borelowski clashed with approximately 1,000 soldiers of the Imperial Russian Army.
Borelowski and his party camped in a forest between the villages of Majdan Sopocki and Borowiec.
The Russians immediately sent approximately 1,000 soldiers, who attacked the Poles.
While some Polish insurgents decided to fight, others fled through nearby border to Austrian Galicia.
