Cambodian troops pushed back as insurgents seize river area
Insurgent forces pressed across the Prek Thaot River 13 miles southwest of Phnom Penh pushing Cambodian troops from Kempong Kantuot and nearby positions on the south bank. Government forces retook portions of the river road but saw reinforcements attacked and a U.S. armored carrier damaged. Civilian and military families fled Sala Lek Pram as rebels pressured the town from three sides. In Saigon, Brig. Gen. Vu Van Giai faced a court ruling for abandoning Quang Tri during the 1972 offensive, while clashes along the central coast left two enemy troops dead near Dinh Son.
