Battles erupt as Vietnam forces clash with Cambodians near border
South Vietnamese armored vehicles and helicopters surged along the Cambodian frontier near Kere Mon and Highway 1 east of Phnom Penh. Fights raged deeper in Cambodia with several officers killed. Laos reports heavy clashes on the Plain of Jars as Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese forces overran three government posts in Vientiane. Washington blasted the Laos fighting as a cease-fire violation and warned of renewed bombing. Across the border, Cambodian and Vietnamese units exchanged fire with mixed reports on crossings, while U.S. and Saigon accuse North Vietnamese troops of aiding Khmer Rouge and cross-border raids continued. Col Hoang Duc Ninh warned media away from the border screen operation. Government forces reported multiple clashes and casualties in the border zone.
