Additional incidents. A train was machine-gunned in Somerset, 
      no casualties; the fire at Pembroke dock is still burning; the 
      great Western Railway main line at Hevton Abbot is likely to 
      be out of order for some time purley way is temporarily closed 
      owing to explosion of delayed action bomb. Last night enemy activity 
      although confined almost entirely to maids by single aircraft, 
      was on a larger scale and more widespread than usual. Bombs were 
      dropped in northern and north-eastern London suburbs, casualties 
      and damage so far reported as slight. One hangar was set on fire 
      but was extinguished at Filton; and near Aldershot 9 trucks of 
      an ammunition train were set or fire. Other spacemodic bombing 
      took place over a wide area and mine-layiug is suspected in the 
      Thames Estuary and off the East Coast.
