Here’s another reason why I loved the MOAB attack in Afghanistan earlier today. It not only targeted ISIS tunnels and caves, but it also targeted actual ISIS terrorists. Early reports from the MOAB strike, at least 100 ISIS terrorists have been killed and that number is likely to grow. Trump did say he would bomb the shit out of ISIS. He kept his campaign promise this time.

There are currently no reports from the Department of Defense regarding casualties or damage. But Independent Journal Review spoke to Ahmad Wali Sarhadi, a freelance journalist based out of Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Sarhadi gave us a report from the local officials in Nangarhar:
“Yeah, I am on the line with local officials of Nangarhar. They say a big complex of ISIS has been destroyed by the dropping of the bomb from the U.S.!
ISIS’s biggest complex in Afghanistan is destroyed. They say more than 100 ISIS members are killed. The casualties may get higher.”
Sarhadi also noted that there are no official reports on civilian casualties yet, but an official has said that there is still the possibility of civilian casualities.
While other information on the attack will surface in the coming hours, this is one of the first reports on known casualties.
According to this initial casualty estimate, this would be one of the most effective military strikes against ISIS yet.
