He said a clearance operation to assess the site of the attack was continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strike using the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB, was carried out Thursday against an Islamic State group tunnel complex carved into the mountains that Afghan forces had tried to assault repeatedly in recent weeks in fierce fighting in Nangarhar province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5000\" height=\"3333\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg 5000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/afghanistan-41517-1.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5000px) 100vw, 5000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>U.S. forces stand guard in Asad Khil near the site of a U.S. bombing in the Achin district of Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan, Saturday, April 17, 2017. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Photo Credit: Rahmat Gul\/AP<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai on Saturday criticized both the Afghan and U.S. governments for the attack in Nangarhar. Addressing a gathering in capital Kabul, Karzai said that allowing the U.S. to carry out the bombing was &#8220;treason&#8221; and an insult to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current President Ashraf Ghani&#8217;s office said Friday there was &#8220;close coordination&#8221; between the U.S. military and the Afghan government on the operation, and they were careful to prevent any civilian casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. estimates 600-800 IS fighters are in Afghanistan, mostly in Nangarhar. The U.S. has concentrated on fighting them while also supporting Afghan forces against the Taliban. The U.S. has more than 8,000 US troops in Afghanistan, training local forces and conducting counterterrorism operations.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=c479d25e-2401-42ca-bc86-a1852dd0be1d\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"s1\">Check out the&nbsp;<\/span>GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast, also known as a MOAB, that was dropped on Afghanistan<br \/><br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Helmand province, at least 11 civilians were killed and one wounded in two roadside bomb blasts late Friday evening, said Omar Zwak, spokesman for the provincial governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All victims of the attack were innocent civilians including women and children,&#8221; said Zwak.
