News of the United States dropping its so-called 'Mother Of All Bombs' in an area in Afghanistan dominated the homepages of most news publications.
However, strangely enough, two of the foremost American news websites - The New York Times and Washington Post - did not initially carry a single mention of the bombing on their respective websites.
The two websites, both of which have been personally attacked by US President Donald Trump in the past, led with the other major, and bigger, US bombing story of the day, that of of a US-led coalition airstrike in Syria mistakenly killing 18 allied fighters.
First reports of the bombing came in at around 10.30 am India time with news agency Reuters publishing a short story that carried a Pentagon confirmation of the strike.
India Today accessed the homepages of several international and American news publications at around midnight.
While the Wall Street Journal, CNN and USA Today, all US websites, carried news of the bombing prominently, there was no mention of the strike on The New York Times or the Washington Post websites.
