This morning in Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, the entire power plant of a big engine shop was totally destroyed. Reports say that at least six saboteurs succeeded in getting into the plant unseen. They placed their bombs and disappeared.
Earlier, other reports said that one of the biggest armament plants in Denmark was in flames yesterday after an explosion in the main building.

German reports said to-day that the explosion area has been evacuated.
