Five Gov't Posts Are Overrun By Reds
A central coast district town in South Vietnam held out against a 2000-strong Viet Cong force for a second day. Five government posts in the area were feared overrun as a relief force was driven back. Tuy An remained quiet at night as U S naval ships shelled attackers and U S planes pounded them. In the air war, U S forces destroyed a Soviet missile site near Hanoi and damaged another radar facility 41 miles northwest of the capital. The campaign marked significant attrition for both sides in a continuing conflict.
