Missile Site Attacked Near DMZ In North Vietnam
United States fighter bombers attacked a North Vietnamese anti air missile site 56 miles northwest of the DMZ in the Mu Gia Pass area after the site threatened B52 bombers. No missiles were fired by the North Vietnamese, and initial reports could not confirm damage. Defense Secretary Laird said pilots may fire in protective reaction missions to shield U S aircraft tracing radar. The strike followed B52 raids on supply routes through Laos toward South Vietnam, part of ongoing Ho Chi Minh Trail operations.
