U S fighter bombers destroyed more than 140 air defense assets in the southern half of North Vietnam including 76 surface to air missiles in the day’s raid. U S forces resumed heavy bombing after a four day pause near Hanoi and Hai Phong while South Vietnam’s Thieu launched a new drive to retake territory. In the south, Marines and government forces advanced south of the DMZ facing moderate to heavy resistance.
