The U.S. Department of Defense has released a video of the dropping of a massive bomb in Afghanistan Thursday.
The so-called “Mother of all bombs” struck an Islamic State tunnel complex, killing 36 Islamic State fighters and no civilians, Afghanistan officials have said.
The Ministry of Defense said in a statement that several IS caves and ammunition caches were destroyed by the giant bomb, which terrified villagers on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border with its “earsplitting blast.”
Here’s the video:
