US jets keep up air blitz on Afghanistan

After a brief lull United States warplanes resumed their pounding of targets around Afghanistan on Monday night, continuing through Tuesday morning, with bombs hitting Kabul and the Taleban stronghold of Kandahar.

Unlike the previous days, the Taleban did not respond with anti-aircraft fire.

The Afghan Islamic Press, quoting local sources, said three people were killed in the Kabul attack, while four others were killed when a bomb fell on Merwas Mona district in Kandahar.

The agency added at least 10 more persons were injured.

American planes also carried out attacks overnight on Kulduz airport in northern Afghanistan and in Paktika province in the east of the country, the agency said.

The agency said Taleban tanks came under heavy bombardment at Sharena in Paktika province.
