During 8 November SADF artillery shelled every possible target and reported movement. A small convoy left Viposto apparently making for the Vimpulo, but it was immediately shelled and several vehicles were set on fire, bringing it to a stop. This was probably the element that had delivered the TMM bridge to the Operational Command Post. (Operation Moduler Second phase).
59 Brigade was attacked by 3 x Mirage F1AZs at 11h00, drawing some ineffective 23 mm fire. An air attack on 21 Brigade planned for 15h35 was cancelled because of the proximity of friendly forces.
