JUGOSLAV PARTISANS
AID FROM ALLIED AIRCRAFT RUGBY, Jan. 5. Allied aircraft from Italy are taking an increasing part in the fighting in Jugoslavia. Travnik, where they attacked enemy troops yesterday, is on the railway 40 miles south-east of Banjaluka, where Jugoslav patriots are locked in battle against the Germans and Croat puppet troops. Doboj which was also bombed, is a rail and river junction 45 miles east of Banjaluka. According to the Jugoslav Army of Liberation headquarters, patriots are on the offensive along a line from Bosanski and 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 the lost territory regained.
