BOMBING OF MALTA
FOUR WAVES OF RAIDERS SALVO AFTER SALVO DROPPED. POPULACE SHOWS NO SIGN OF PANIC. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m,) LONDON, June 11. , Seven air raid warnings were sounded at Malta during the day. Four waves of bombers carried out the first raid, dropping salvo after salvo but only three bombs fell on the city. The civil population showed no sign of panic. Anti-aircraft guns kept up a terrific barrage during each raid, preventing dive-bombing. It is believed that two and possibly four of the raiders were brought down. The damage was very slight. The casualties included women and children.
A curfew is imposed at Malta between 10.30 p.m. and 5 a.m.
