General Myers: "In yesterday's operations we struck in eight planned target areas, principally
around Mazar-e Sharif, Kabul and Kandahar as well as in a number of engagement zones
around Afghanistan. We used about 55 strike aircraft yesterday, including about 40 tactical jets
off our carriers, between four and six land-based tactical aircraft, and about eight to 10 long-range bombers.
Yesterday two C-17s delivered about 34,000 food rations in the north for a total of approximately to date 1,062,000.
We also flew Commando Solo broadcast missions and dropped leaflets near Mazar-e Sharif.
Turning to today's imagery, we have videos from F-14s and F-18s depicting strikes yesterday
on a cave complex near Kabul. The Taliban and al Qaeda use these caves to secure --
as secure locations for personnel and for ammunition and for equipment.
The first video shows a cave at the base of a cliff. The clip is from the weapons display of the
wingman of the one that actually dropped the bomb.
The second clip has two videos which depict another cave located at the top of a ridge.
The first clip comes from the shooter's display, and the second clip from his wingman,
who's observing the strike. The large secondary explosion seems to indicate we may have
hit ammunition or fuel in that cave.
