RAWALPINDI, Pakistan, Dec. 4—While nearly continuous air fighting between Pakistan and India was reported in progress, Pakistan asserted today that her ground forces had seized “significant territory” in India.

An army spokesman said that Pakistani forces had halted thrust into West Pakistan that India was said to have started yesterday. He said that Pakistani forces had advanced into India in the Sialkot sector, which is near the Kashmiri border.

An air force spokesman said Pakistani planes were carrying out repeated raids on 11 Indian air bases and two other military targets. He asserted that the Pakistani Air Force had destroyed 26 Indian planes in the air while losing only two Sabre jets.

Raids on Karachi Reported Meanwhile, Indian bombers were said to have attacked tar gets in Karachi, and air raid sirens wailed in Rawalpindi and other West Pakistani cities. [There were five raids on Karachi on Saturday, The Associated Press reported, and civil defense soured there said one Indian plane bad, been shot down by antiaircraft fire.]

Addressing the Pakistani people by radio just after an all clear siren sounded here about noon, President Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan said the nation's forces would “strike and destroy” the enemy in his own territory.

Call for Utility

In his brief speech in the Urdu language, the President called for unity and calm and said:

“Remember the promise of God: If you remain steadfast, God will give you glorious victories. God is with us.”

[The President made no mention in his broadcast of Any formal declaration of war against India, The Associated Press reported. However, a statement in the Pakistani Government Gazette said, “A state of war exists between Pakistan on the one hand and India on the other.]

As Pakistan entered her second day of widespread fighting with India, it was far from clear here what progress the armies of the two countries were making.

Heavy fighting was said to be continuing all around the borders of East Pakistan but with no significant change in the over‐all situation.

In the west fighting was reported all the way from Poonch in Kashmir south to the Indian state of Rajasthan, southeast of Karachi.

In West Pakistan, Indian air craft in groups of from two to eight attacked a Karachi petroleum storage area, the air port here and in Peshawar as well as targets in Lyallpur and Multan.

Casualties in most of the raids appeared to have been light. Two persons were killed here, but then danger to civilians appeared to be increasing. At nightfall tracers and anti‐aircraft shells streamed toward aircraft flying too high to see and more raids seemed likely.

American officials reported plans to evacuate about 200 Americans from Karachi by air tomorrow. But there is still no civil air transportation to or within Pakistan as many air fields have been subject to at tack.

Some 900 foreign engineers and workers and their families, mostly Italian, French and other Europeans, reportedly are leaving the construction site of the Huge Tarbela Dam near here. They reportedly plan to drive to Afghanistan.

Indian aircraft reportedly attacked trains and trucks convoys. Pakistan said, however, that at least 29 Indian aircraft were destroyed during the day with the loss of only two Pakistani planes.

A Pakistani spokesman said that five Indian pilots had been captured alive during the day and that the bodies of at least two others had been recovered from aircraft that had crashed

In ground fighting, Pakistan claimed to have captured Dewa, a small border town in Kashmir, after crossing the cease‐fire line into Indian territory in seven places.

Other Indian villages claimed to have been captured by Pakistani forces moving in from West Pakistan, were Dhram, in the Sialkot area, and Pakka, in the Fazilka sector. Four Indian tanks were said to have been captured in the fight for Pakka.

In East Pakistan, the spokesman said, a new and large‐scale Indian attack on Hilli, in the Dinajpur area, was repulsed. He said there had been no significant change in the over‐all situation in East Pakistan and that an announced Indian offensive had produced no results.

A spokesman for the Pakistani Navy said he did not know whether India had set up blockade off the coasts of East and West Pakistan. But he said that one Indian cruiser and eight or nine frigates and destroyer were off the coast of Karachi, West Pakistan, and that an Indian aircraft carrier and four or five frigates were in the Bay of Bengal off East Pakistan.

Two Pakistani gunboats were reported to have been damaged by aircraft near the port of 1Chittagong, East Pakistan, which was also under air at tack.

Pakistan's small navy would seem likely to have a difficult time breaking or running an Indian blockade. Without sup plies by sea or air from West Pakistan, Pakistani forces in the east seem isolated.

The targets of the Indian raids in the Karachi area were said to have been the military airport and the harbor.

There were unconfirmed re ports also of Indian air attacks in the Peshawar and Lahore areas.
