Eight bomber missions dropped millions of pounds of bombs on ammo storage and a transshipment point, with Saigon spared for a second straight day. Casualties and damage were light at shelling sites and the Phar Rang base. About 3,000 infantry were assigned to defend the capital’s outer limits amid broader redeployments.
