  • The Japanese Invasion of Malaya, or Battle of Kota Bharu, began just after midnight on 8 December 1941 (local time) before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Kota Bharu, capital of the Kelantan Province, situated on the north-east coast of Malaysia, was, in 1941, the base of operations for the Royal Air Force in Northern Malaya with an airstrip at Kota Bharu and two more at Gong Kedah and Machang. It was fought between ground forces of the British Indian Army and the Empire of Japan. Part of the Battle of Malaya, this action took place on December 8, 1941, at Kota Bharu beach and also involved the Imperial Japanese Navy. Although the Japanese succeeded in establishing a temporary beachhead, the engagement was costly for the Japanese, who suffered 800 casualties and several transports sunk. These losses are largely attributed to their attempts at landing ground troops on the beach, which were easy targets for RAF bombers and Indian coastal defenses.
