Railway yards received salvos of explosives in low-level attacks and at a factory 10 miles north-west of the city fires were started. Oil refineries and plants as far apart as Stettin on the Baltic and near Leipzig were attacked, besides docks, shipping, aerodromes and other objectives. An Air Ministry communique reports a series of raids on Britain yesterday, in which eight German planes were destroyed. Six British fighters were lost or are missing, the pilot of one being safe. It is now confirmed that one more enemy aircraft was destroyed on Saturday and another on Friday.
