SNEAK RAIDS
MADE BY THE GERMANS ON BRITAIN.
CASUALTIES IN SEVERAL AREAS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, October 12.
A number of persons were killed or injured when four German sneak raiders bombed a south coast town after midday. Apart from the casualties and damage at a home for crippled children (reported in an earlier message) another bomb smashed almost every window of a lapge building in which 500 to 600 persons were working, but there were no casualties. British fighters chased the raiders out to sea.
When a German plane bombed a north-east town last night, six persons were killed —five in one house —and eight were injured. Some incendiary bombs were dropped, but the fires were quickly controlled. The Berlin radio announced that the Luftwaffe last night raided Sunderland.
