North Viets Hit South's Defenses
SAIGON AP North Vietnamese forces attacked South Vietnam’s northern defenses despite heavy B52 bombing. South Command reported 99 North Vietnamese killed and one tank destroyed in three dawn to noon engagements, while South casualties were five killed and 22 wounded as 100 B52s dropped 2,500 tons of bombs along the northern front.
