South Vietnamese paratroopers aided by B52s and Bd2s retook An Loc, 60 miles north of Saigon, forcing North Vietnamese forces from the provincial capital. The 1000-strong relief force, part of Thieu’s palace guard, was flown in by helicopters after four days of heavy shelling and artillery. Air and ground bombs disrupted enemy concentrations and destroyed tanks, with waves of fighter bombers and gunships supporting the assault. The militants retreated from An Loc, once home to about 12 000 residents, as the offensive broke their siege three miles east of the city.
