This bomb has been brought to Afghanistan sometime ago for potential use. The bomb explodes in the air, creating air pressure that can make tunnels and other structures collapse. It can be used at the start of an offensive to soften up the enemy, weakening both its infrastructure and morale, says Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump.

Later, US President Trump called this as another successful mission.

But, former Afghan president Hamid Karzai vehemently condemned the attack. ‘This is not the war on terror but the inhuman and most brutal misuse of our country as a testing ground for new and dangerous weapons. It is upon us, Afghans, to stop the USA,’ Karzai said.
