ARAKAN FRONT
Nothing To Report
(Rec. 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, April 10. An India communique states: "There is nothing to report from the Arakan front. Two bombing attacks were made on a Japanese occupied village at the southern end of Mayu Peninsula. Fighters machine-gunned road transport in the Taungup area and 60 miles north north-west of Taungup a cargo barge was left sinking. Lorries on the roads, some carrying troops, were attacked and 10 probably destroyed. A formation of enemy fighters which appeared over south-east Bengal were driven off by Hurricanes. There was an abortive attack by Japaxiese bombers on shipping in the Naf River. Two of our aircraft are missing.”
