Allied Unit Retakes Cambodian Site Amid Laos Border Alert
Allied forces report retaking an abandoned strategic area on Cambodia's western edge near the Laos border. In six missions Friday, U.S. B52s attacked targets around Saigon and Phnom Penh while reinforcements and naval fire supported South Vietnamese advances amid ongoing Mekong Delta operations and a renewed push toward border incursions into Laos. The operation, named Pickens Forest, involves 1500 Marines and 500 Army support troops with potential for a broader drive if Khai Due's position becomes a staging point for cross-border activity.
