Lunar truce violation marked by Saigon bombing
An early morning 25 pound bomb exploded against a U S serviceman billet in Saigon, killing a U S sergeant and wounding a Vietnamese woman as the Lunar New Year truce neared its midpoint. Two soldiers and several civilians were injured, with about 40 men sleeping in the billet. Officials debated if this was a major truce breach, noting 66 incidents since midnight. The Viet Cong blamed for several Brace violations, while field reports cited numerous minor clashes with no clear side predominant.

World revolutionary conference yields mixed signal from China
At the Havana gathering of 82 nations, Wu Hsueh Tsien pressed for broader peoples' wars against U.S. imperialism and accused the Soviets of fearing nuclear war. He claimed U.S. policy faces a deep crisis and called the Viet Nam peace push a smokescreen. Delegates, including Rashdov, emphasized Soviet support for North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong, while Cuba remained pro Soviet but not anti Chinese. The event aimed to build unity and propaganda for revolution, with Cuba seen as a key beneficiary.
