KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The number of militants killed in an attack by
the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military
has risen to 94, an Afghan official said Saturday.

Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar,
said the number of Islamic State group dead was up from the 36 reported
a day earlier. A Ministry of Defense official had said Friday the number
of dead could rise as officials assessed the bomb site in Achin district.

"Fortunately there is no report of civilians being killed in the
attack," Khogyani said.
