MANY AIR RAIDS
ON ENEMY BASES & DEPOTS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) RUGBY, March 22. An India communique states that of the land fighting in Arakan there is nothing new to report. “Yesterday,” it adds, “R.A.F. bombers dropped bombs on Dombaik and fighters shot up Japanese positions near Laungchaung, on the east side of the Mayu Peninsula. Other fighters destroyed enemy aircraft north of Rathedaung. An ammunition dump at Taungup is believed to have been hit and a railway line in the Bongyaung Gorge, in the Katha district, was attacked. Last night Liberators attacked a satellite airfield at Toungoo, where fires were left burning. From these and other operations all our aircraft returned safely.” Late yesterday afternoon, high-flying enemy aircraft attacked the Feni Airfield, in South-East Bengal, causing some damage and a small number of casualties.
