US air power sharply increased in Afghanistan since April

The use of American air power in Afghanistan has sharply increased as military officials press
U-S President Donald Trump to send thousands more troops to the country.


According to new statistics, US warplanes dropped more weapons on Afghanistan in April than in any other single month since 20-12.

The US Air Force unleashed 460 bombs, missiles, or other ordnance last month in Afghanistan. The figure is more than seven times compared to April last year.

Trump is considering proposals from his top military advisers calling for the United States and its coalition allies to send up to 5-thousand more troops to Afghanistan.

 The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror. However, foreign troops are still stationed in the country.
