Continued bombing of Åndalsnes forced the port commander Brigadier Hogg to signal London that the situation was hopeless without air cover or antiaircraft guns. An arriving supply convoy was bombed for three hours and withdrew without landing the anti-aircraft guns it was carrying.
The Luftwaffe also bombed Namsos. The order was given to evacuate the port.
