U S Air Force launches major raid on Suan red supply hub
In a day long assault the U S Fifth Air Force attacked the Red supply complex at Suan 35 miles southeast of Pyongyang. Jets and prop planes swarmed the target as flames and smoke engulfed it. Two Red jets were shot down and a third damaged during mid air battles about 40 miles from Suan, while Sabre jets and Australian Meteors clashed with MiG 5s 100 miles from the Manchurian border. On the ground the Eighth district Republicans moved to oppose reapportionment efforts as tank forces in Kumhwa Kumsong fought Reds claiming heavy casualties and bunker damage.
