According to the ARD (german TV), NATO forces have used vacuum bombs in eastern Afghanistan.

This deadly weapon was first used a few years ago by the Russian army in Chechnya. Back then, the West initiated protest against it being used.
The bomb is designed to suck up all the oxygen within a distance of about 200 metres, creating a vacuum for a split second. This results in the collapse of the lungs and the explosion of blood vessels in all human beings and animals in the affected area. If it detonates at the entrance of a cave, everybody inside the cave suffocates.
