The U.S. 7th Fleet announced that fighter-bombers from the carrier America, recently returned to the war zone, had joined the battle for Quang Tri City. Navy pilots reported explosions and fires after strikes on supply areas one to three miles north of Quang Tri, while a Navy jet knocked out a long-range Soviet gun 10 miles southwest of the city. Thirty miles to the south, there was fighting west of Hue, and the old imperial capital was hit by eight enemy artillery shells that killed one person and wounded three. Reports said North Vietnamese gunners pounded Outpost Checkmate with 1,300 shells and assaulted the hilltop position that has changed hands four times in two weeks.

Military sources reported 40 enemy were killed in that battle and at nearby Fire Base Bastogne, 12 miles southwest of Hue. Government casualties were eight killed and 30 wounded, the sources added. Checkmate and Bastogne are considered strategically important because they guard the western approach to Hue, a route military officers consider the most likely to be used in any North Vietnamese attack on the city.

In another incident, field reports said an American helicopter crewman was shot and killed by a government marine on the northern front when the helicopter, on a medical evacuation mission, was mobbed by marines.
