The Pentagon said in updated figures on Monday the average daily cost of the fight against ISIS militants has risen to $8.3 million, or a total of $580 million between Aug. 8 and Oct. 16.
The new average reflects an increase in the intensity of U.S. operations against the group in Syria and Iraq. The Pentagon said a week ago the average daily cost was $7.6 million, or a total of $424 million since Aug. 8.
