Iraq said its planes bombed Kharg Island for the eighth time in four weeks, dropping eight tons of explosives on Iran’s main oil terminal in the Persian Gulf. In other action in the five-year-old war, Iran said its troops penetrated 18 miles behind Iraqi lines on the northern front, killing nearly 200 soldiers and capturing strategic territory. However, Iraq said it repelled the attack and killed more than 2,500 Iranians. None of the claims were independently verified.
