North Vietnamese Fire From Within the DMZ
North Vietnamese gunners fired artillery and rockets from inside the demilitarized zone at U S Marine positions near Con Thien. The attack, the first from within the DMZ since Johnson halted bombing, killed at least four Marines and wounded 41 across three Marine positions south of the DMZ. Marine aircraft and artillery countered, destroying one firing position and 10 bunkers west of Con Thien while another position farther west came under heavy fire. Additional shelling hit South Vietnamese towns and installations, with four civilians killed and 18 wounded. U S B 52 bombers targeted Saigon’s outskirts as fighting spread toward the Cambodian border 75 miles north of Saigon.
