US drops largest non-nuclear bomb on Islamic State.

The United States has dropped its largest non-nuclear weapon after it targeted Islamic State caves in Afghanistan. The military used a GBU-43 bomb — which weighs a staggering 9,525 kg — and the radius from the blast is believed to more than 300 metres.

It has been described as the ‘mother of all bombs’ and the Pentagon confirmed that it was dropped in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province.
