B52s Raid Supply Depots Across Laos and Borders
U S B52 bombers staged the heaviest raids in nine months targeting North Vietnamese supply depots in Laos and along the Cambodian border. About 60 aircraft dropped nearly 2000 tons of explosives, with 14 North Vietnamese soldiers reported killed. Additional strikes hit Ho Chi Minh Trail convoys feeding the A Shau Valley, amid heavy enemy fire and ongoing scout, gunship, and artillery actions. The Tet festival approaches and dry season movement raise expectations of further activity in South Vietnam.
