forces of the aggressor are making energetic headway from Pećigrad and Tržačka Raštela towards Cazin. Th e situation can no longer be controlled, and by the evening the territory could be split into two parts and the 5 th Corps routed. We have many casualties because of the intensity of the assault, and we also running short of supplies and materiel. At the same time the aggressor is attacking along the axes Ličko Petrovo Selo - Bihać and Gorjevac - Ripač - Bihać. Th e population is panicking and there is a heavy loss of life. Along the lines of its attack the aggressor applies the “scorched earth” policy and is using poisonous chemical agents. We are urging you to take immediate steps.
