Attempted Raid On N G By Jap Bombers
A Batavia radio report says Japanese bombers tried to attack New Guinea but were driven off Borong in Dutch New Guinea. Singapore counted a quiet night with heavy enemy activity blamed on fatigue after casualties, while Penang faced new Japanese threats across the mainland opposite the island. Hong Kong reported a sizable landing effort as British and Allied naval forces engaged in heavy fighting with the Japanese approaching the Dutch East Indies. The overall front showed marked disruption with evacuations beginning and naval actions against ships in the sea lane near Timor and nearby waters.
