FIGHTING IN YUGOSLAVIA
Rec. 12.30 p.m. . RUGBY, Jan. 5. Allied aircraft from Italy are taking an increasing part in the fighting in Yugoslavia. Travnik, where they attacked enemy troops yesterday, is on the railway 40 miles south-east of Banjaluka, where Yugoslav patriots are locked in battle against Germans and Croat puppet troops. Doboj, which has also been bombed, is a rail and river junction 45 miles east of Banjaluka. According to the Yugoslav Liberation Army headquarters, patriots are on the offensive along a line from Bosanski Novi eastwards through Prijedor to Banjaluka, 100 miles north of Split. Allied aircraft bombed German troops near Prijedor two days ago.
In Banjaluka, street fighting continues.
In eastern Bosnia, the German offensive is stated to have been defeated and lost territory regained.— 8.0. W.
