Kandahar Under Fresh U.S. Air Strikes

U.S. warplanes launched fresh air strikes against the southeastern Afghan city of Kandahar on Sunday morning, leaving the city without electricity or water, the Cable News Network (CNN) reported.

Meanwhile, heaving fighting was reported on Sunday between the Taliban troops and the opposition Northern Alliance forces around the Taliban-controlled town of Mazar-e-Sharif.

Earlier in the day, the U.S. forces started the third week of air strikes against Afghanistan, using attack helicopters for the first time and low-flying warplanes in attacks on the Afghan capital of Kabul.

At least three loud explosions rocked Kabul before dawn on Sunday, which came under U.S. air raids for the 15th consecutive day, but there was little or no response from the Taliban troops.
