Capture Of Pyongyang Looms As Outpost Falls
American mobile forces pierced toward Pyongyang with a fast thrust to Hwangju 21 miles south of the Communist capital while U S forces and Korean units moved along three main highways within 23 miles southeast and 41 miles east of Pyongyang. Reports said the Communist defense weakened as Allied columns pressed the capital from multiple directions. The First Cavalry and South Korean First Division led pushes from the south and southeast, with British support striking from the south toward Sarinon as the pursuit intensified. The action aimed at Pyongyang continued amid intelligence notes of large enemy movements northward.
