The second day of air strikes were delivered by two B-2 bombers flying from Missouri, three B-1B bombers from the island of Diego Garcia (4,000 kilometers to the south of Afghanistan) and ten fighter-bombers flying off carriers off the coast of Pakistan as well as 15 cruise missiles launched from warships in the Indian ocean.
