STOCKHOLM, Feb. 6 (UP).-Bright sunshine is permitting the Russian air force to wreck further havoc on Finnish cities, towns and villages behind the lines.
Viborg, Aabo, Soltavalla, Ckeneas and Kajami suffered especially from yes- terday's raids.
In Anbo, the volunteer fire brigades were forced to dyna mite several buildings in an effort to prevent the spreading of
several tremendous fires caused by incendiary bombs, which were dropped during a series of day-long raids.
Most of the important buildings in the city have been completely des- troyed, either by fire or direct hits by high explosive bombs.
The destroyed buildings include the Swedish Consulate, a girls big school, a church, a boys' high school, several official buildings and the, offles of Aabo's leading ticwspaper,
