CNN Correspondents Art Harris and Lisa Rose Weaver reported intense attacks by U.S. artillery and aircraft on positions in southern Iraq. New York Times reporter John Kifner, traveling with the U.S. 1st Marine Division, said Marines had engaged Iraqi troops south of the Iraqi border in Kuwait in what is believed to be the first ground combat of the war.
Kifner said the Marines encountered two Iraqi armored personnel carriers and destroyed them.
