Bombs were dropped from a medium height and in the course of the attack, lasting about half an hour, bursts were seen in marshalling yards and other objectives. Large fires were burning as the aircraft left the tarrget. Yesterday, Blenheims continued to bomb Japanese positions in the Kanzauk area north-east of Rathdaeung. Fighters made offensive patrols in the battle area and attacked various targets, including Japanese troops and gun positions and a factory near Akyab. All our aircraft are safe.”— 8.0. W.
