The United States’ war against the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) is costing an average of $9.2 million per day, the US Department of Defence has revealed.
The Pentagon announced in a statement that the overall cost of the military campaign against ISIS, which began in August last year, is close to $3 billion.
According to the statement, 54 per cent of the cost is spent on airstrikes, while 25 per cent is spent on arms. The rest is distributed between transport, logistical support and other operations.
