It was not through the efforts of the jihadists that the peaceful inhabitants of the Afghan province of Nangarhar faced destruction and disease. All this is the merit of the armed contingent of the United States, which actually conducted combat tests here of the so-called Mother of All Bombs.
This is stated in the plot of the Press TV channel.
The most powerful non-nuclear bomb was dropped here in April 2017 under the pretext of destroying the base of the Islamic State terrorist group. * Then few local residents could imagine what the consequences of the explosion would be for their health and agriculture. Most of the homes in the Momandara Valley were destroyed by the blast.
“Many here have experienced skin irritation and problems with the nervous system. In addition, the harvest that we collect on our agricultural land is not as rich as before, ”a local resident told the TV channel.
In connection with the situation, the Afghan authorities have already promised to investigate the consequences of the use of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast, also known as the “Mother of All Bombs,” in the region by the US forces.
Ammunition capacity – 11 tons of TNT. The claimed radius of destruction is 140 meters, but destruction can be recorded at a distance of up to one and a half kilometers. An explosive is a mixture of RDX, TNT and aluminum powder. Its mass is 8.4 tons.
