Namibian guerrillas staged a mortar attack on a northern town, and South African security forces pursued them north toward Angola, a military spokesman said. A soldier was slightly wounded and his wife more seriously so when about 15 rounds landed in Oshakati, a combined business center and military base close to the Angolan border, he said. The spokesman said the attack was mounted by guerrillas of the South-West Africa People’s Organization, which has been fighting for the past 20 years to end South Africa’s rule of Namibia.
