The Afghan defense ministry said no civilians were affected by the bombing and the Kabul administration was kept in the loop regarding the attack.Pentagon had earlier announced that GBU-43/B device – colloquially known in the military circles as the 'mother of all bombs' – was used for the first time in a combat on Thursday, 13 April. The 9,800kg powerful explosive targeted a tunnel complex used by the Isis insurgents, who have been gaining a foothold in Afghanistan in the last few years."The air strike was designed to support the efforts of the ANSF [Afghan National Security Forces] and US Forces as well as minimize the risk to ANSF and the US Forces conducting clearing operations in the region," read a statement from the Afghan presidential palace. Kabul authorities said precautionary measures were taken to avoid civilian casualties in the region.The blast occurred at about 7.30pm local time in the Nangarhar province's Achin district after the 30ft GPS-guided massive bomb was dropped from an MC-130 aircraft.Don't miss: Dozens killed after US dropped 'mother of all bombs' in Afghanistan's Nangarhar provinceThe GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, primarily designed to destroy underground targets, wiped out a large cache of weapons when it struck a network of caves used by the Isis. The weapon was built during the Iraq war and tested in 2003 but never put into combat use.The escalation in Afghanistan sends a powerful message as it follows similar sudden strikes in Syria, which targeted President Bashar al-Assad's key airfield. The assault on Isis has also come as a warning by the Donald Trump administration to recalcitrant states like North Korea, which is widely suspected to be on the verge of carrying out yet another nuclear test.When asked whether this major anti-Isis bombing is a thinly-veiled message to North Korea, US President Donald Trump responded: "I don't know if this sends a message; it doesn't make any difference if it does or not. North Korea is a problem, the problem will be taken care of."Afghanistan 'mother of all bombs'You may be interested in:By Ahmad Sultan and Hamid ShaliziACHIN, Afghanistan/KABUL (Reuters) - The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan said on Friday that the decision to deploy one of the largest conventional bombs ever used in combat was purely tactical, and made as part of the campaign against Islamic State-linked fighters.As many as 36 suspected Islamic State militants were killed in the strike on Thursday evening in the eastern province of Nangarhar, Afghan defense officials said, adding there were no civilian casualties.Amaq, the news agency affiliated with Islamic State in the Middle East, carried a statement denying that the group had suffered casualties in the attack, citing an unidentified source who had been in contact.The statements could not be independently verified, and on Friday Afghan and foreign troops in the vicinity were not allowing reporters or locals to approach the scene of the blast.The strike came as U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to dispatch his first high-level delegation to Kabul, amid uncertainty about his plans for the nearly 9,000 American troops stationed in Afghanistan.Nicknamed "the mother of all bombs," the weapon was dropped from an MC-130 aircraft in the Achin district of Nangarhar, bordering Pakistan.Nicholson said he was in constant communication with officials in Washington, but the decision to use the 21,600-pound (9,797-kg) GBU-43 bomb was based on his assessment of military needs and not broader political considerations."This was the first time that we encountered an extensive obstacle to our progress," he said of a joint Afghan-U.S. operation that has been targeting Islamic State since March."It was the right time to use it tactically against the right target on the battlefield."Afghan and U.S. forces were at the scene of the strike and reported that the "weapon achieved its intended purpose,", Nicholson said.Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri said no civilians were harmed in the massive blast that targeted a network of caves and tunnels that had been heavily mined."No civilian has been hurt and only the base, which Daesh used to launch attacks in other parts of the province, was destroyed," Waziri said in a statement.He was using an Arabic term that refers to Islamic State, which has established a small stronghold in eastern Afghanistan and launched deadly attacks on the capital, Kabul.The GBU-43 is a GPS-guided munition that had never before been used in combat since its first test in 2003, when it produced a mushroom cloud visible from 20 miles (32 km) away.The bomb's destructive power, equivalent to 11 tonnes of TNT, pales in comparison with the relatively small atomic bombs dropped on Japan at the end of World War Two, which had blasts equivalent to between 15,000 and 20,000 tonnes of TNT.In Achin village, about 3 miles (5 km) from the remote, mountainous area where the bomb was dropped, witnesses said the ground shook, but homes and shops appeared unaffected.Qari Mehrajuddin first saw "lightning like a thunder storm" followed by the roar of an explosion, an all-to-familiar sound for residents of the war-torn area."I thought there was a bombing just outside my home," he said. In reality, the blast was around three miles away, its massive impact bigger than any before seen in the region.Some locals welcomed the strike."If you want to destroy and eliminate Daesh, then even if you destroy my home we won't complain, because they are not human beings, they are savages," said Mir Alam Shinwari, using an Arabic term for Islamic State.Away from Achin, reactions were mixed."The fact is that America used their big bomb here to test its effectiveness," said Kabul resident Asadullah Khaksar. "If America wants to eliminate Daesh, it is very easy because they created this group."Residents of Achin said they had got used to seeing militants climbing up and down the mountain, making occasional visits to the village."They were Arabs, Pakistanis, Chinese and local insurgents coming to buy from shops in the bazaar," said Raz Mohammad."TESTING GROUND”:On Friday, the village was swarming with Afghan and international troops, as helicopters and other aircraft flew overhead.Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's office said in a statement the attack was a part of a joint operation by Afghan and international troops."Afghan and foreign troops closely coordinated this operation and were extra cautious to avoid any civilian casualties," it said.But former president Hamid Karzai condemned the use of the weapon on Afghan soil.The Taliban, the main security threat to Afghan and NATO forces trying to quell their stubborn insurgency, also denounced the bombing."Using this massive bomb cannot be justified and will leave a material and psychological impact on our people," the Taliban, who compete with Islamic State in Afghanistan, said in a statement.American officials said the bomb had been positioned for possible use in Afghanistan for "some time" since the administration of former president Barack Obama.The United States has steadily intensified its air campaign against Islamic State and Taliban militants in Afghanistan, with the Air Force deploying nearly 500 weapons in the first three months of 2017, up from 300 in the corresponding 2016 period.Thursday's strike was not the first time Islamic State fighters have been targeted by heavy American bombardment in Nangarhar, where a U.S. special forces soldier was killed battling militants a week ago.Last year, B-52 bombers operating out of Qatar flew at least two missions in Afghanistan for the first time since 2006.Such aircraft can carry as much as 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg)of bombs, missiles, or other weapons on each mission.In March, U.S. forces conducted 79 "counterterror strikes" against Islamic State in Nangarhar, killing as many as 200 militants, according to the U.S. military command in Kabul.U.S. military officials estimate there are about 600 to 800 Islamic State fighters in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar, but also in the neighboring province of Kunar.The United Nations has raised concerns that the American air campaign is swelling civilian casualties in Afghanistan.Last year, air strikes by international forces caused at least 127 civilian deaths and 108 injuries, up from 103 deaths and 67 injuries in 2015, the United Nations said.As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourselfabout a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions and Theories.Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts,or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFKResearchers who may not be as well versed as you.Comments ?Respectfully,BB.

A Ministry of Defense official had said Friday the number of dead could rise as officials assessed the bomb site in Achin district."Fortunately there is no report of civilians being killed in the attack," Khogyani said.The increased death toll in Nangarhar was announced as officials in southern Helmand province reported at least 11 civilians were killed and one wounded in two roadside bomb blasts overnight.The U.S. attack on a tunnel complex in remote eastern Nangarhar province near the Pakistan border killed at least four IS group leaders, Khogyani said. He said a clearance operation to assess the site of the attack was continuing.The strike using the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB, was carried out Thursday against an Islamic State group tunnel complex carved into the mountains that Afghan forces had tried to assault repeatedly in recent weeks in fierce fighting in Nangarhar province.Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai on Saturday criticized both the Afghan and U.S. governments for the attack in Nangarhar. Addressing a gathering in capital Kabul, Karzai said that allowing the U.S. to carry out the bombing was "treason" and an insult to Afghanistan.Current President Ashraf Ghani's office said Friday there was "close coordination" between the U.S. military and the Afghan government on the operation, and they were careful to prevent any civilian casualties.The U.S. estimates 600-800 IS fighters are in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar. The U.S. has concentrated on fighting them while also supporting Afghan forces against the Taliban. The U.S. has more than 8,000 US troops in Afghanistan, training local forces and conducting counterterrorism operations.In Helmand province, at least 11 civilians were killed and one wounded in two roadside bomb blasts late Friday evening, said Omar Zwak, spokesman for the provincial governor."All victims of the attack were innocent civilians including women and children," said Zwak. The 11 died in a blast in Nawa district when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. Another person was wounded when a second bomb exploded in Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand, he said.Also on Saturday, Khogyani said a district leader and three others were wounded when their vehicle was targeted by a bomb. One of the wounded was Ghalib Mujahid, Bati Kot district chief, he said."The district chief and others are out of danger and are not in life-threatening condition," he said.Last November, Mujahid was attacked by a sticky bomb attached to the vehicle and he was wounded and his driver was killed.As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions and Theories.Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts,or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFKResearchers who may not be as well versed as you.Comments ?Respectfully,BB.
