| Afghanistan War

The US military drops a GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat, on ISIS-K tunnel complexes in Achin district, Nangarhar province. The strike kills 94 ISIS-K militants according to the Afghan government. The use of the MOAB is the first in combat and signals a loosening of targeting restrictions under President Trump.
