Air War Intensifies As U S Strikes North Vietnam
The North Vietnamese Air Defense Headquarters at Bach Mai near Hanoi was struck by U S F4 jets destroying several structures. Air strikes rose to about 250 daily to cut supply routes southward. Northwest and northeast rail lines to China reportedly cut. Bombers destroyed the Dragon's Jaw bridge at Thanh Hoa. Officials warn effects may take 30 days to appear. South pushes from Hue continue to stout defenses. All pumping stations on the main Communist pipeline to the DMZ were destroyed, stopping about 1 130 metric tons of fuel per day from reaching the south.
