A U.S. military airstrike blew up an ISIS cash distribution center, sending “millions” in cash flying through the air.
The strike on Monday was near the city of Mosul, Iraq, according to a statement from the U.S. Central Command.
A black-and-white video released by the Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve shows debris and money raining down from the sky after bombs set off a large explosion.
A U.S. defense official told CNN and AFP that "millions" of dollars in cash were destroyed in the airstrike.
"We estimate in the millions of dollars ... from all their illicit stuff: oil, looting, extortion," the official reportedly told AFP.
CNN also reported that five to seven people may have been killed in the airstrike, citing an "initial post-attack assessment."
