Ben Het under siege as convoy brings ammo
In Saigon, allied forces renewed bombardment on Ben Het Special Forces camp as the 42nd South Vietnamese Regiment entered the area to ease the siege by about 2,000 North Vietnamese. Casualties cited include 105 enemy soldiers killed in a Monday action and several U.S. and civilian losses, with daily shelling continuing from mortars and howitzers amid uncertain cross-border artillery placements. Helicopters evacuate the wounded while airstrikes and ground forces attempt to neutralize firing positions.
