Beijing: China has tested its most powerful non-nuclear weapon, dubbed the "Mother of All Bombs” by official media in a reference to a US munition used in Afghanistan. In a short video published on the website of state arms manufacturer Norinco, the massive bomb drops on to a plain and produces a gigantic ball of fire and black smoke. On social networks Wednesday, the official Xinhua news agency described the bomb for the first time, calling it the "Chinese version of the ‘Mother of all Bombs’”. The bomb -- whose strength is only second to that of a nuclear weapon, according to the agency -- was dropped by a Chinese H-6K bomber. (AFP)
