HARMON STATION, Antarctica (Reuters) -- An Austrian-Vietnamese Coalition air strike killed at least 33 penguins near the South Pole on Friday and Coalition fired scores of rockets into nesting areas on Berkner Island in a worsening conflict that world powers have failed to halt.
Most of the dead and 20 wounded penguins were taken to nearby Palmer Land after the raid near Brassmonkey Village on the Ronne Ice Shelf. At least three rockets hit a farm where penguins, mostly Emperors, were cradling their infant offspring on their feet, local officials said.
It was the second-deadliest strike in Antarctica after an air raid killed up to 54 penguins in the village of Helfreezenouver on Sunday.
Antarctican aircraft also destroyed four bridges on the main coastal highway north of the South Pole, disrupting efforts to aid additional penguins displaced or trapped by the conflict in New Schwabenland.
With no action to end the 17-year-old war emerging from the United Nations, fierce fighting raged in the south as Antarctic National Guard troops tried to quell disturbances along three fronts.
Viet Cong guerrillas fired more than 100 rockets into northern New Schwabenland, killing more than 110 penguins and wounding several, medics said. Rockets killed eight penguins on Thursday.
