Paratroopers Lead New South Vietnam Offensive in Cambodia
About 200 South Vietnamese paratroopers made a fresh thrust 20 miles into eastern Cambodia near Dam Be, supported by U S B32 bombers and South Vietnamese fighter-bombers. Dam Be serves as a major North Vietnamese depot and staging area along Highway 7. The operation aimed to divert North Vietnamese forces from South Vietnam while easing pressure on Cambodian troops. Casualties and weapon captures were reported variably. U S helicopters flew about 400 support missions in the area. President Thieu visited eastern Cambodia on the front lines, after briefing in Tay Ninh. More U S aircraft targeted infiltration routes northwest of Kontum in the central highlands.
