A U.S.-led coalition airstrike destroyed a Daesh cash storage facility in Iraq, according to a defense official quoted by CNN Monday.
The unnamed official did not specify how much money was in the building in Mosul but said 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) bombs were dropped on the facility, destroying "millions" of dollars worth of cash.
The strike came early Monday and according to the CNN, the Pentagon believes five to seven civilians might have been killed.
The official said the coalition targeted cash-holding buildings one or two times in 2015, but Monday’s strike was probably the biggest.
