Afghan officials say at least 90 Islamic State fighters were killed when the US dropped the "mother of all bombs" in Afghanistan - although IS has denied suffering any casualties.
IS issued a statement through its propaganda agency Amaq, saying: "Security source to Amaq agency denies any dead or wounded from yesterday's American strike in Nangarhar using a GBU-43/B."
The bombing left villagers terrified on both sides of the Afghan-Pakistani border.
In the Afghan village of Achin, just a few miles from where the bomb hit, Palstar Khan said: "Last night's bomb was really huge, when it dropped, everywhere, it was shaking."
Some in Pakistan said the explosion was so loud they thought a bomb had been dropped in their village.
"I was sleeping when we heard a loud explosion. It was an earsplitting blast," said Shah Wali, 46, who lives nine miles from the border.
"I jumped from my bed and came out of my home to see what has gone wrong in our village."

The Western news media regurgitates propaganda from the genocidal maniacs of the Islamic State. This is the equivalent of reporting statements from Goebbels or Tokyo Rose in World War II...
“’Tis a flesh wound.”
I like the 90 number better than the first estimate.
Oh, oookaayy.
Of course, as s member in good standing of The Fake News Media, Sky News believes whatever Isis says.
"It's just a scratch I tells ya!"
Exactly!!!

That is the truth.
None dead or injured.
THEY WERE VAPORIZED !!!
Rumors are the last words echoing in the valley were:
“Pass the Vicks Vapor Rub©™”
When the 1st Cav. got to Khe Sahn, they didn’t find any bodies, the area was plastered by B 52’s, they found only parts of bodies everywhere. I would guess that is closer to the truth than what ISIS claims.
That is great. Now we can continue to test these bombs in areas known to house these animals without worrying about any loss of ISIS life.
How long before we hear people on this forum say that no one was killed during the MOAB attack?
If none were killed, I’m good with that. This bomb collapsed a lot of those tunnels and that’s a good thing
Just thinking out of the box here, could this take the place of fracking?
Drop these all over the ME and watch the oil production skyrocket!
