Casualty Toll Rises in Saigon Viet Cong Offensive
The first weeks of the Wet春 offensive bring high casualties on both sides. US reports 453 Americans killed and 2,599 wounded. Saigon cites 521 government casualties and over 6,700 enemy deaths in seven days. Civilians suffer with at least 25 dead and 70+ wounded in Saigon rocket strikes. Rockets target Saigon for the fourth time since February 25, with plans for retaliation and possible resumption of North Vietnam bombing. Presidents, commanders, and defense moves frame the crisis as civilians endure the bombardment.
