Heavy air raids on North Vietnam intensify despite South Vietnamese pullback
US fighter bombers conducted heavy raids in North Vietnam for a second straight day as South Vietnamese forces retreated across the border.

The campaign, tied to the fall of Fire Base Delta, saw 5,235 enemy and allied casualties, with battles ongoing near the To Chi Minh trail.
