Bombers Hit Fiery Siege Buildup in Vietnam Towering raids target enemy concentrations near Saigon
High altitude American bombers resumed attacks after a lunar new year truce with spoiling strikes on buildup points in the jungles northwest of Saigon. The allied command listed 238 truce violations as 60 battalion-size sweeps spread from the Mekong Delta to northern hills. Eight Americans were killed and nine wounded during the period, with 151 enemy dead and at least four South Vietnamese killed. B52 saturation strikes followed the truce, including targets above Tay Ninh City and north of Saigon, while lighter planes bombed a Viet Cong bunker complex west of the city. Tet remained relatively calm in major population centers.
