In the Soviet Union... The Mainila incident takes place. Seven artillery shells are fired into the village of Mainila, killing 4 soldiers.

In Moscow... The Soviet government blames Finland for firing on Mainila and demands an immediate withdrawal of Finnish troops from the Karelian isthmus, near Leningrad. The government describes the presence of Finnish troops in the area as a “hostile act.”

In the North Sea... The Polish line Pilsudski, on charter to the Royal Navy, is torpedoed and sunk; 10 die.

In Britain... The prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, makes his first radio broadcast of the war, saying that the British know the secret of the German magnetic mines and denouncing the indiscriminate laying of mines by German forces.
