Here is what really happened (I wonder if any american news organisation reported that).
1. Prior to the bomb throw, afghan military contacted local tribesmen and told them to leave the area.
2. Afghan tribal leaders have confirmed that "almost all inhabitants have left the area".
3. Moabs are not depth penetrating bombs ("bunker breakers"). Basically one hell of a surface explosion, with complementing earthquake-like effects around ground zero.
So if there were any ISIS people left in the caves (which we don't know), some of them might have been killed or injured (certainly a few ears were blown out). The afghan goverment was quick to report that "36 IS fighters were killed". That is of course a complete fabrication, as the afghan governement has no clue what happens in the country (their range of influence ends roughly five meters past the city gates of Kabul).
