U S jets aid Laotian troops near Plain of Jars
American fighter-bombers fly combat support for Laotian government forces under attack by North Vietnamese around the Plain of Jars.

North Vietnamese forces have captured several strongpoints near Nong Pet, with Lao casualties described as light by sympathetic sources. The embassy notes the offensive has begun and may last three months as government troops plan delaying actions to inflict heavy losses.
