Kabul, September 30 (RHC)-- In Afghanistan, the U.S. military has carried out two airstrikes in efforts to bolster the Afghan government’s attempts to retake the northern city of Kunduz. 

Kunduz became the first major city to be taken over by Taliban forces since 2001 on Monday.  The Afghan government’s counter-offensive appears to be faltering. 

The U.S. strikes come despite President Barack Obama’s declaration of an official end to the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan.
