What happened on Wednesday March 04, 1942?

Here's what happened on March 04, 1942:

• Sook Ching Massacre in Singapore The Sook Ching massacre, a brutal ethnic cleansing operation conducted by Japanese forces during World War II, concluded in Singapore. This horrific event targeted the local Chinese population, with significant discrepancies in reported casualties. Japanese official records claim fewer than 5,000 deaths, while the Singaporean Chinese community asserts that approximately 100,000 civilians were systematically murdered. The massacre was part of the Japanese military's strategy of terror and subjugation during their occupation of Southeast Asia.
• Japanese Reconnaissance Operation K at Pearl Harbor On March 4, 1942, the Japanese military conducted Operation K, a reconnaissance mission targeting Pearl Harbor. Two Kawanishi H8K long-range flying boats were dispatched to gather intelligence and potentially disrupt ongoing repair and salvage operations. However, the mission was largely unsuccessful due to heavy cloud cover, resulting in negligible bombing damage and limited strategic intelligence.
• British Sloop Yarra Sunk by Japanese Cruisers The British Royal Navy sloop HMS Yarra was sunk by Japanese cruisers in the Indian Ocean during World War II. This incident represents another tragic loss for Allied naval forces during the early stages of the Pacific Theater, highlighting the Imperial Japanese Navy's maritime superiority and aggressive naval tactics.
