Reds Begin New Attacks in Viet Nam War
In South Vietnam the Communists struck three key areas today and yesterday, mortaring American positions and contesting two Marine ground battles. U S losses stood at 25 dead and 134 wounded, with 38 enemy troops killed. U S air losses rose to four aircraft missing or downed over North Vietnam as the bombing campaign dragged on. Marines reported seven dead and 16 wounded in one engagement near Con Thien, while another clash near the DMZ left 12 Marines and 16 Communists dead and 80 Marines wounded. The U S command noted a total 1 641 Communist fatalities in the Dak To battle, with U S casualties rising to 287 dead and 1,000 wounded. B52 bombers pushed deeper into North Vietnam as monsoon weather limited raids to the southern panhandle. Bridges and supply areas were damaged in the renewed air campaign.
