Taliban shots down US B-52 bomber

Taliban announced that they shot down a US-owned B-52 strategic bomber to the west of Helmand province of Afghanistan.

The occupying US continues losses in Afghanistan.

Stating that Taliban targeted US B-52 bomber with heavy weapons "today early morning in Lar area in Washir district of Helmand province," Taliban’s spokesman Qarri Muhammad Yousef Ahmad said the bomber went down and all its crew were killed while smoke still rising from the crash site.

No confirmation or comment by officials in Afghanistan or the US yet on the matter while NATO officials say an unmanned aircraft has crashed due to malfunction.

Some sources in the region claimed that U.S. warplanes bombed the wreckage after the plane crashed.
