Afghan locals and children were left surveying the devastating aftermath caused by the ‘Mother of all Bombs’ in the village of Shadal bazar on Saturday, two days after America dropped the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military.
The death toll of the attack on Afghanistan rose to 94 ISIS members icluding four terrorist leaders, an Afghan official said.
Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar, said the number of Islamic State group dead was up from the 36 reported a day earlier and that no civilians were reported dead in the bombing.
A Ministry of Defense official said on Friday that 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,’ Mr Khogyani said.
But the increased death toll in Nangarhar was announced as officials in southern Helmand province reported that at least 11 civilians were killed and one wounded in two roadside bomb blasts overnight.
The US attack on a tunnel complex in remote eastern Nangarhar province near the Pakistan border killed at least four IS group leaders, Mr Khogyani said.
He said a clearance operation to assess the site of the attack was continuing.
