Enemy Mortar Barrage Hits South Vietnam Artillery Base
North Vietnamese forces pressed a dawn ground attack south of the DMZ striking Firebase Fuller, an 1800 foot high position four miles south of the DMZ, with heavy mortars. Casualties among defenders were light, and two southern edge bases reported no losses. Additional clashes across Vietnam yielded hundreds of enemy fatalities in scattered engagements, with Navy planes losing two aircraft and four crewmen. Cambodian troops slowed by rugged marsh terrain advanced little near Phnom Penh as they push to clear forces from the Vihear Suor marshes east of the capital.
