The Cubans' objective was still to secure the town of Cuito Cuanavale to the west of the river from capture.

Although at the conclusion some Angolan units remained in positions east of the river, the Angolan advance against UNITA was permanently halted, and UNITA lived to fight on. The SADF never attempted to cross the river or to capture the town. Both sides again claimed victory.
