South Vietnamese claim four North Vietnamese tanks in highlands
South Vietnamese fighter bombers knocked out four North Vietnamese tanks along the central highlands, marking the first time since 1969 that NVA tanks fought inside South Vietnam. Air strikes hit two tanks near Fire Base 5 and two more near Ben Het, with enemy troops reportedly killed as planes targeted positions along the border. The report notes a broader tri-border buildup with Laos and Cambodia amid anticipated offensives timed to President Nixon’s visit to Beijing.
