RESTUNLAN MARINES LAND ON TE TERA COAST

Naval gunfire covers an assault at Shingle Cove.

By GNN CORRESPONDENTS

SHINGLE COVE —
Hestunian troops have
landed on the Teran coast
under naval gunfire,
establishing a narrow
perimeter above the beach.
Engineers are clearing
exits while suc
waves bring ammunition
and medical supplies
ashore.

Teran defenders retain
the heights inland. Their
artillery is reaching parts
of the landing area,
forcing unloading teams
to disperse stores rather
than gather them at a
single point.

The assault opens a
coastal front without
securing a port. Its
immediate survival
depends on keeping the
beach open, protecting
the transports and moving
enough infantry inland
to prevent the landing
ground from remaining
under direct observation.
