HEAVY AIR ATTACK ON KASHMIR TOWN

(11.20 a.m.) LGITDON. Aug. 29. An official military report says that Royal Indian Air Force planes bombed the north-west Kashmir town of Gilgit “very effectively” yesterday, says Reuter’s correspondent in New Delhi. Aircraft also attacked an airfield, wireless station and ammunition dumps. Front-line dispatches describe the attack as the largest and most concentrated so far in the State. The attack was directed mainly against concentrations preparing to reinforce a column in the Ladakh Valley, southeast, of Gilgit, where the enemy has been trying to organise a second front.
