# Chiến thắng tại Kim-Hải của quân dân tỉnh Phước-Tuy ngày 11-11-1965 (Victory by the GVN Forces and People at Kim Hai Province of Phuoc Tuy, November 11, 1965)

A Vietnamese-language sheet (code SP-943) reports a battle at Kim Hai, Phuoc Tuy province, on 11 November 1965, in a red box of figures: a Viet Cong regiment 'wiped out', 161 enemy dead on the spot, 300 more killed or wounded and carried off, and a list of captured weapons. Photographs show the provincial chief visiting a wounded soldier, captured weapons on tables, and rows of dead Viet Cong on grass. The footer reads 'Army and people united win victory over the Viet Cong'. Totals and photographs stand in for the engagement, and the sheet gives no friendly losses.
