Viet Cong Camp Hit by South Vietnamese Forces Near Cambodian Border

Allied forces report 91 Viet Cong killed and at least 123 captured in the first major clashes since the lunar New Year truce. South Vietnam's 9th Division led a surprise attack on a Viet Cong training camp in the Mekong Delta near the Cambodian border, with light government casualties. Separate actions include a Korean patrol near Bong Son killing 35 Viet Cong, and U.S. units in the Da Nang area seizing 8 tons of rice and dispatching several Viet Cong. A Marine squad suffered heavy losses during an ambush northwest of Chu Lai, while the Quick Kick operation north of Saigon yielded a primitive mine factory and arms dump.
