U S and South Vietnamese forces conducted air strikes on Hanoi and Haiphong depot and oil facilities while claiming limited civilian impact. McNamara framed aims as raising costs of infiltration to protect troops. Britain Russia and others criticized or dissented.
McNamara described U S air strikes against Haiphong and nearby sites two miles from Haiphong and three miles from Do Son, with one F105 downed and a MIG engagement near Hanoi. He said North Viet Nam’s fuel stocks and transport have been hit, with ongoing efforts to rebuild limited by shortages, and pledged continued pressure to halt infiltration.
Insiders described plans to destroy oil stores in Hanoi and Haiphong and cripple Ilanai transshipment to force North Viet Nam to divert 200,000 workers to repair lines. The aim is stringent rationing of petroleum to curb South Viet Nam support. McNamara declined to discuss decision timing for operational matters amid leak rumors.
