Battle Near Unsan Onjong Area Hurts North Korean Units
Intelligence spokesman Joe Jay says the Unsan Onjong battle shows a large scale enemy defense rather than a counteroffensive. UN forces retain initiative in Korea as a whole, with North Korean strength revised upward but many units under strength. Casualties exceed 336000 with 135000 prisoners. The action is a major battle that will take time to smash the attackers. The Reds hit the Union area with stronger resistance than expected and capabilities are not fully clear. Situation improves slightly day by day.
