The US military has dropped an enormous bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission.





A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), nicknamed the “mother of all bombs,” was dropped at 7:32 pm local time Thursday, the sources said. A MOAB is a 21,600-pound, GPS-guided munition that is America’s most powerful non-nuclear bomb.



Meanwhile, Prophet T.B. Joshua warned of this happening last Sunday during the live service . He said, “This coming Thursday, pray against whatever that will happen that will cause a conflict between the super-power nations. I see a situation where one will tempt the other – and that will provoke the whole thing. Pray that God should hold their temper.”



We learnt the bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, stationed in Afghanistan and operated by Air Force Special Operations Command, Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump told CNN.



Officials said the target was an ISIS cave and tunnel complex and personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province.



“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,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said later Thursday. The strike “targeted a system of tunnels and cave that ISIS fighters use to move around freely.”





The military is currently assessing the damage. Gen. John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, signed off on the use of the bomb, according to the sources. The authority to deploy the weapon was granted to Nicholson by the commander of US Central Command, Gen. Joseph Votel, Stump said.



This is the first time a MOAB has been used in the battlefield, according to the US officials. This munition was developed during the Iraq War.



“As ISIS-K’s losses have mounted, they are using IEDs, bunkers and tunnels to thicken their defense,” Nicholson said in a statement following the strike.



“This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against ISIS-K,” Nicholson added.



“US forces took every precaution to avoid civilian casualties with this strike. US Forces will continue offensive operations until ISIS-K is destroyed in Afghanistan,” read the statement from US Forces Afghanistan.



The extent of the damage and whether anyone was killed is not yet clear. The military is currently conducting an assessment.



The Pentagon is currently reviewing whether to deploy additional trainers to Afghanistan to help bolster US allies there.



The Achin district is the primary center of ISIS activity in Afghanistan. A US Army Special Forces soldier was killed fighting the terror group there Saturday.

What Does it matter . Is it not when prophecies come to pass that you confirm it ? . The fact that it was confirmed after the news does not mean the prophecy was given after the news . The news only confirmed the prophecy

Don't believe everything these biased media outlet are writing, and instead use YOUR BRAIN!!!!

EXAMPLE: You beat a kid who happen to be my little brotha, I come to you and say if you try to touch my lil brotha again, I will deal with you, so you now go and beat another kid. Do you think that is show of force?!?!

Trump went to bomb tiny Syria, then mighty Putin warned him that if he does it again, he will deal with him, so Trump went with his tail between his legs bomb tiny Afghanistan.... And you think that is a show of force?! That is a show of WEAKNESS/FEAR (aka being afraid of mighty Russia), a show of force would have been to continue bomb Syria, duh!

You're wrong . Its not the target or location that is the show of power .it is the kind of bomb that is the show of force. Its the biggest ever used in warfare . Apart from nuclear. Even if it was used to test run in the ocan. Its still show of force. North Korea throws their bomb into the sea for provocation. Iran throws theirs into the desert to show force. So selecting a small location to release the biggest bomb ever and giving it so ooo much publicity is a strong message especially to North Korea who had been flexing muscle of late . America had warned them that there will be a strike if they try to test nuclear bomb .

Bwaaaaah!!! Showing of force is to attack a powerless bunch of people?! Again, USE YOUR BRAIN!!! Russia is the biggest strongest country with more nuclear warhead than any country on earth. THIS is show of force! As for non nuclear bomb, I suggest you educate yourself on the Russian "father of all bombs" (FOAB), detonated in 2007, which is 4 times more powerful than the MOAB. Again, this is show of force!

Big nations around the world are not bothered by what the US are doing. If they were as strong as you suggest, why don't they go and attack North Korea then, instead of flexing muscle with Afghanistan?! Using Afghanistan that has been bombed relentlessly for close to 20yrs, and not North Korea instead, is a waste of time

Thanks god the word predicted was use by op not prophesied cos anybody can predict.....intact I predict that Chelsea will win EPL come may

you're just arguing blindly. its not who is attacked that is the issue but weapon that is displayed. even military drill in the ocean is seen as show of force to recon with.
