A number of high explosive bombs were dropped, says the Berlin version, and caused damage to civilian property. Royal Air Force fighters on offensive patrols attacked a number of targets yesterday. Off the Belgian coast enemy patrol boats and a sea-going barge were attacked with cannon and machine-gun fire. One patrol boat was set on fire, others were damaged, and the barge was left sinking. A gun position on the coast was put out of action. One fighter is missing, but the pilot is safe. Coastal Command aircraft attacked an oil depot and refineries at St. Nazaire.
