The US-led coalition dropped a record number of bombs in its war against the Islamic State (IS) group this year, according to the UK-based monitoring organization Airwars.
Alex Hopkins, an Airwars researcher, said the coalition dropped 10,918 munitions last month on Iraq and Syria.
“So far this year, 10,918 munitions have been dropped on Iraq and Syria, with January, February and March each setting new records for munitions dropped.”
