US authorities sent B-52 bombers to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban militants

The United States sent B-52 bombers to Afghanistan to combat the Taliban terrorist movement militants, The Times reported with reference to sources in US defense circles.

According to the publication, bombers flew to Afghanistan from the US air base El Udeid, located in Qatar. After that, the aircraft struck in the vicinity of the provinces of Kandahar, Herat, Lashkargs, as well as in the province of Hilmens.

In addition to the B-52 bombers, the United States also used fire support aircraft AC-130 Spectre and the MQ-9 Reaper combat drones.

In April, US President Joe Biden stated that he intends to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan.

“I came to the conclusion that it was time to complete the longest war in our history and it was time for the American troops to return home,” he said.

The final conclusion of the military will end on August 31.
