Bombing leaves Neak Luong in ruins after river town attack
Interior Minister Hem Keth Sana surveyed the battered town of Neak Luong as hundreds of residents watched. A bandaged soldier, Cal Prom Chhun, described the devastation while a U.S. fighter escorted the minister and a U.S. embassy official. A survivor recounted escaping with family as bombs struck in clusters, killing several and maiming others. An air strike occurred four miles north across the Mekong as the minister departed. In Belgrade, a railway station blast killed one worker and injured seven, likely by Ustashi terrorists seeking Croatia’s independence.
