Philippine theater.
Japanese planes raided Corregidor 12 times during the past 24 hours. The attacks were concentrated on the center of the island. Our anti-aircraft fire kept the bombers at a high altitude. As a result, the damage inflicted by the enemy was slight and only a few casualties were sustained by our troops.
Enemy batteries located in Bataan and in Cavite fired on our fortifications this morning.
The enemy cruiser sunk a few days ago near Cebu is reported to be of the Waskuma class.
There is nothing to report from other areas.
