2. Enemy Situation:
Resistance continued strong from well-entrenched positions in the
east-central sector, with groups up to regimental strength stubbornly
opposing UN advances north of Yanggu and Sohwa. Several probing
attacks, mostly of platoon size, were made in this area and also in the
central sector near Kumhwa and Songam. Several newly constructed en-
trenchments and reinforced bunkers were observed across the Imjia
River on the west flank, opposite British Commonwealth Division posi-
tions. The adjusted report for air sightings for 160600 Korean Time to
170600 Korean Time is a total of 441 enemy vehicles, of which 287 were
moving south. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
a. General: UN forces continued to attack in the east-central
sector, made some limited gains, and consolidated forward positions.
Limited advances were also made in the least coastal area south of Kosong.
Aggressive patrolling continued in the western and central sectors against
light to moderate opposition. UN patrols captured and secured two hills
near Chorwon. Hostile probing attacks in the central and east-central
sectors were repulsed. (FECOM) (SECRET)
