The Eighth Army reported four killed and sixty four wounded, most on Koje Island, as arrests and suppressions spread across two islands and the mainland. Gen Namul accused UN forces of slaughter, while the Army noted a delayed disclosure due to reorganization and that some incidents caused no injuries.
