BUDAPEST BOMBED BY RAF

Big Explosions In Railway Yards

LONDON, Friday, AAP

German communications with the Russian front were pounded last night when RAF Halifaxes and Wellingtons flew from Mediterranean bases to attack Budapest, capital of Hungary.

The raid took place less than 24 hours after British bombers had attacked Bucharest, capital

of Rumania.

Crews reported that the rail- way yards at Budapest were

well covered by 4,000lb bombs which caused two violent explosions.

Budapest, which is on the River Danube, was previously

attacked last month. (
