Wie die Briten berichten sind Japaner bei Kota Baru gelandet.
Desweiteren melden die Briten einen schweren Angriff auf die zum Zeitpunkt des Angriffes auf See befindlichen Force Z, der BC Repulse und das BB Prince of Wales wurden versenkt.
Da die Niederländer feindliche Schiffe im Bereich Kuching aufklären konnten, wird auch hier mit einer Landung gerechnet.
