Vietnamese camp attacked by North Vietnamese commandos
More than 200 North Vietnamese commandos attacked a Da Nang area camp and district headquarters, killing at least 34 government soldiers and wounding 42. The five-hour action also hit the Tra Bong district center and a ranger camp, with 26 enemy soldiers reported killed. The assault came as U.S. forces planned redeployments and as Cambodia reported its own operations to relieve pressure on Phnom Penh, with Cambodian and Vietnamese forces advancing along Highway 6 toward Kompong Thom. American officials describe bombing raids as interdiction to slow flow of troops and supplies into South Vietnam.
