Answer: New York City, Tokyo and San Francisco are destroyed.

In the culminating battle, space torpedoes are launched by the aliens' mother ship which strike both New York City and San Francisco. Then the mother ship hovers over Tokyo and destroys that city with the same anti-gravity ray it used to destroy the steamship, the railroad bridge and Venice, Italy.

As the mother ship approaches the Space Research Center, the atomic heat canons on Earth's interceptor spaceships and on the ground combine to destroy the evil Natal forces and the unified nations of the Earth prevail.
