Washington DC – Donald Trump ordered the United States military to drop the ‘mother of all bombs’ on Afghanistan.
At 7 pm Afghanistan time, the US military dropped a GBU-43/B Massive Ordinance Blast Bomb in the Northeast corner of Afghanistan. The bomb, which weighs nearly 22,000 pounds, is the largest non-nuclear bomb to be dropped on a country in human history.
The Airforce reports that the bomb dropped by the MC-130 aircraft targeted tunnels used by terrorists in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province.
