MANY TARGETS

BOMBED BY BRITISH PLANES INCLUDING U-BOAT BUILDING YARDS. ENEMY FIGHTER SHOT DOWN. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) RUGBY, November 6. Submarine building yards at Vegesack, near Bremen, were among the objectives attacked last night by aircraft of the Bomber Command, according to an Air Ministry communique, which also states that attacks were carried out on petroleum sheds at Emden and shipbuilding yards at Bremerhaven and Bremen. At Emden thirty fires were caused in the target area. Other operations were directed against Neuhof and the electrical power station at Hamburg, where a number of fires were started. The ports of Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, Antwerp and Flushing were also heavily bombed, together with a number of aerodromes in enemy-occupation. Two of our aircraft are missing. Yesterday an aircraft of the Coastal Command attacked by two enemy twin-engined fighters, and in the course of the ensuing combat, one enemy fighter was shot down into the sea.
