RAID ON SOFIA
NUMBER OF BUILDINGS DAMAGED OIL TRAIN DESTROYED IN YUGOSLAVIA. GERMAN ATTACKS IN DALMATIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, November 15. The Ankara radio, quoting a message from Sofia, said that about 130 bombers participated in the raid (reported yesterday). They dropped about 200 bombs. Delayed action bombs were still exploding on the outskirts of the city late in the afternoon. A number of buildings were damaged, but the casualties were comparatively light, and Sofia is calm. The German news agency says that the Bulgarian Council of Ministers met this morning to discuss measures to be taken after the raid. On the coast of Yugoslavia, Allied planes hit a train-load of oil, and it is estimated that 150.000 gallons of fuel were destroyed. A communique issued by the Yugoslav Army of Liberation states that German troops in Dalmatia launched a big operation at several points in an attempt to occupy beaches and islands in the Adriatic. The Germans achieved some success in a counter-offensive in the Peijesac peninsula. Yugoslav troops are continuing offensive operations in the Croat provinces, and also in Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia.
