bunker positions. Hand-to-hand fighting was reported north of Sohwa.
Eneray activity was less in other sectors, although several probing
attacks were made near Kumhwa. An enemy rocket launcher, eight

at noon on 16 September. An unidentified aircraft strafed UN positions
with a "burp" gun near Chorwon on 15 September. During the period,
