North Vietnamese armor and infantry breached the northern defense line above Hue but main thrust stalled with help from U.S. jets. Reports say 16 NV armored vehicles, including at least nine tanks, were knocked out around the My Chanh River. One South Vietnamese soldier killed, eight wounded. U.S. jets destroyed three 130 mm guns west of My Chanh. An ammo dump at Camp Evans was hit. Other clashes and air strikes linger amid ongoing coastal and border actions.
