Air strikes continued in Afghanistan tonight with ten huge explosions in the direction of the airport.
Further attacks in Kabul appeared to be directed at weapons and ammunition storage sites in the hills north of the city.
One bomb exploded near a UN World Food Programme warehouse on the northern edge of the city, slightly injuring one Afghan employee, UN spokesman Mr Khaled Mansour said in Islamabad.
At the Pakistani border town of Chaman, Afghan refugees said attacking planes struck an ammunition depot in the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar, setting the site ablaze.
There were no nationwide casualty figures, but the Taliban Information Ministry claimed 12 people died today during a raid in western Badgus province.
In Washington, Rumsfeld suggested that US jets may soon step-up attacks on Taliban positions on the front lines of the battle with Afghan opposition forces.
He said US planes have not targeted troop concentrations so far because of "less-than-perfect targeting information".
"I suspect that in the period ahead that's not going to be a very safe place to be" for the Taliban, he said. "We hope to have improved targeting information in the period ahead."
