美聯社報導,美軍周四(大馬時間週五凌晨)向極端組織”伊斯蘭國”在阿富汗的目標,投擲有”炸彈之母”之稱的GBU-43炸彈。

國防部發言人表示,炸彈從MC-130運輸機投下,目標是接近巴基斯坦邊境的楠格哈爾省(Nangarhar)一組IS地道。

這是美軍首次在戰鬥中使用這種炸彈。

衞星導航的”炸彈之母”正式名稱是”巨型空爆彈”(MOAB),是世界上威力最大的常規炸彈,是美軍在越戰、1991年波斯灣戰爭和阿富汗反恐戰都使用過的6,800公斤BLU-82″炸傷彈”(Daisy Cutter)升級版,爆炸威力等同於11噸TNT炸藥。

US drops largest non-nuclear bomb in arsenal on Afghan caves

The Pentagon has confirmed that the United States has dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb it has in its arsenal on a target in eastern Afghanistan.

The GBU-43 bomb is known as a Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), or the "Mother of All Bombs".

It is the first time this bomb has been used in combat.

The Pentagon says it was targeting a series of caves and bunkers believed to be used by the so-called Islamic State group in the Achin district in the Nangarhar province, close to the border with Pakistan.

It was not immediately clear how much damage the device did.

The strike occurred at about 7:32pm local time (4.02pm Irish time). 

The GBU-43 is a 9,797kg, GPS-guided munition and was first tested in arch 2003, just days before the start of the Iraq war.

The security situation in Afghanistan remains precarious, with a number of militant groups trying to claim territory more than 15 years after the US invasion which toppled the Taliban government.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer opened his daily news piefing speaking about the use of the bomb and said, "We targeted a system of tunnels and caves that ISIS fighters used to move around freely, making it easier for them to target US military advisers and Afghan forces in the area."

Last week, a US soldier was killed in the same district as the bomb was dropped while conducting operations against IS.

"The United States takes the fight against ISIS very seriously and in order to defeat the group, we must deny them operational space, which we did," Mr Spicer said.

Mr Spicer was asked whether US President Donald Trump directly authorised this strike and what the timeline leading up to the decision was, but he chose not to answer and referred all queries to the US Department of Defence.

A CNN military analyst, Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, expressed surprise that the bomb has been dropped, as this weapon has not been talked about for a long time. 

As well as the explosion, it causes a massive concussive impact which delivers a serious psychological blow to those who are not killed by the blast.

The bomb sends shock waves which reverberate through the tunnel network which was targeted.

It destroys everything in the "circle of impact."
