IS denies reports of any casualties in MOAB attack in Afghanistan

GBU-43/B device targeted IS tunnel and is the largest non-nuclear bomb US has ever used in combat.

The Islamic State on Friday denied any suffering casualties from the US MOAB bombing in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province.

The IS' Amaq News Agency denied reports of the group incurring casualties in America dropping a 'Massive Ordnance Air Blast, a 10,300 kg bomb, on its tunnel complex in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province'.

Earlier on Friday, the Afghan defence ministry said that up to 36 suspected IS militants were killed in Afghanistan when the US dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat.

On Thursday, US dropped 'mother of all bombs' - the largest non-nuclear weapon on an area of eastern Afghanistan known to be populated by Islamic State militants.
