About Ban Xèpôn

Ban Xèpôn

Xépôn, is a village in the Seponh District of Savannakhet Province, Laos. It was approximately 0.65 kilometres (0.40 mi) east of the intersection of the Sepon River and the Banghiang River. It was the target of Operation Lam Son 719 in 1971, an attempt by the armed forces of South Vietnam and the United States to cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The village now known as Old Xépôn was destroyed. In the 1990s, gold mining began at the site, helping to create Laos's largest private industry. Expansion of mining in the area has dislocated indigenous villages around Old Xépôn.
