Tet Offensive attack on the United States embassy
1968 Vietcong military offensive
On 31 January 1968, a 15-man Viet Cong (VC) sapper team attempted to seize the embassy of the United States in Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, at the start of the VC's Tet Offensive. While the VC successfully penetrated the embassy compound, they were unable to enter the chancery building and were pinned down by security forces, with the three survivors eventually surrendering to US forces.
