Vietnamese forces recaptured a Cambodian guerrilla base near the Thai border in a two-hour battle, killing six rebels and wounding 35, Thai military sources said. The Vietnamese overran the camp at Nong Chan and drove out about 1,000 rebels, the sources said. Several hundred Khmer People’s National Liberation Front guerrillas later mounted a series of counterattacks, the sources added. The Vietnamese first captured the camp at the start of their dry-season offensive last November, but the guerrillas retook it a month later.
