At least 90 militants from the Islamic State (IS) group were killed by a huge bomb dropped by the US in Afghanistan, a regional governor says.
The most powerful non-nuclear bomb ever used by the US in combat was dropped on an IS base in Nangarhar province.
A network of tunnels and caves was destroyed on Thursday evening local time, US officials said.
The latest death toll was confirmed by Ismail Shinwary, the governor of Achin province within Nangarhar.
