The armoured train on the Asuncion-Caacupe railway has been destroyed by bombing. A Caproni AP.1 bomber on a lone patrol over Caacupe saw the huge steam train. It consisted of two engines, an armoured carriage ahead and nine cargo cars. The pilot made a snap decision to attack and dived onto the target. Three 100kg bombs hit the armoured car and the two engines. They exploded in a cloud of steam and the ammunition also ignited. The whole train was completely destroyed as the ammo in the cargo cars caught fire and troops could be seen running for their lives, some on fire. The twisted wreckage has blocked the line and now it will finally be closed.
