Cambodia - South Vietnam: Enemy forces continue
to avoid mayor co at wit allied soldiers operating
against their Cambodian base areas, but their casual-
ties are mounting.
So far, contacts in both the "Fishhook" and
"Parrot's Bea3~" areas, where the two large operations
are under way, have been sporadic and generally light.
Enemy losses of both materiel and personnel have
risen over the weekend, however, with many of the
.casualties resulting from successful allied air
strikes. Over 700 enemy dead are reported in the
"Fishhook" area after three days of the operations
while in the "Parrot's Beak" South Vietnamese forces
claim to have killed over-1,500 since 29 April. Al-
lied losses from the two operations have totaled
around 100 killed and 700 wounded.
Within South Vietnam, the Communists are carry-
ing on with their current offensive phase. During
the night of 2-3 May, there were at least 87 enemy
incidents reported--one of the most active periods
since 1 April. The .bulk of the actions occurred in
the III and IV Corps areas covering the southern
half of the country. Two US air installations, in-
cluding Bien Hoa air base, received mortar or rocket
.fire. In the delta, rural outposts manned by local
securit forces were sin led out far enemy harass-
ment.
