North Vietnamese overrun ranger base in central South Vietnam
North Vietnamese troops attacked the Le Minh ranger base 23 miles west of Pleiku, overrunning the camp after five hours of heavy fighting. About 400 rangers, including Montagnard auxiliaries, defended the base nine miles from the Cambodian border but radio contact was lost. Recon aircraft later spotted surviving troops nearby.
