Reds Isolate Asian Port and Renew Phnom Penh Assault
Communist troops cut Phnom Penh's land link to Kompong Som and renewed the attack on the Romeas training camp. About 5,000 South Vietnamese forces crossed into Parrot's Beak to pressure the area, while Lon Nol sought Thai support to free Cambodian troops for defense of the capital. American airstrikes hit an antiaircraft site inside North Vietnam. Viet Cong and Pathet Lao moves signaled ongoing regional tension and shifting peace efforts.
