Freighters Attacked Near Vietnamese Cambodian Border
Four freighters and four fuel tankers came under small arms machine gun and rocket fire as they traveled 60 miles up the Mekong under heavy South Vietnamese naval escort. Two rockets struck Hong Ngu district with no casualties. Ground clashes northwest of Hong Ngu left six Viet Cong and two government troops dead and 36 government troops wounded. The South Vietnamese reported 66 Communist cease fire violations in 24 hours, the lowest since the Jan 28 truce began, though fluctuations keep the figure from signaling a trend. Hanoi Radio accused Thailand of planning to send troops to Cambodia to bolster Lon Nol, warning of consequences if done.
