Reports described fires across the airfield, widespread destruction, and a chaotic, snowbound escape with civilian refugees crossing the Taedong River on the city’s edge.

Truman Attlee Open Critical War Parley
United States and seven other nations urged the United Nations to add Communist China's intervention in Korea to the General Assembly agenda. The six powers planned an explanatory memorandum seeking action, potentially transferring the matter from the vetoable Security Council to the Assembly where two thirds could approve. The move signals escalated pressure over China’s role in Korea and hints at labeling Beijing’s regime as intervening in the war.
