Communist forces pressed in the Central Highlands and north of Saigon, overrunning one base camp but being expelled from another. The U S notified seafaring nations that explosives at seven Vietnamese ports would not detonate before 7 pm to allow ships to leave. China protested alleged U S attacks on merchant ships off Yu Tae Island. Hanoi radio reported Haiphong shelling by U S destroyers and Vietnamese civilian injuries.
