ADEN NOT HARMED
British Official Wireless.
two raids by italians
Rugby, sept. zu. A message from Aden describing an air raid by a single Italian aircraft in the early hours of Thursday says that four bombs were dropped. There were no casualties and damage, which was slight, was caused only to one building. In a second raid later in the same day all the bombs fell harmlessly into the sea. Advices from Aden also refer to reliable reports reaching there from Assab and Massawa which show that the sympathies of the local Arabs are with Britain. They have been greatly impressed by the accuracy of the R.A.F. bombing of military targets, which has proved sparing of the lives of civilians nearby. From the same source it is understood that fires started at Assab by the R.A.F. raids last Sunday and Monday burned^ for three days.
