The US-led coalition has enough munitions to conduct all the operations against the Daesh militant group, according to Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Col. Steve Warren.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US-led coalition against the Islamic State, also known as Daesh, is not running out of munitions used to fight the terror group, Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Col. Steve Warren said on Friday.

"We have no concern whatsoever about stockpile of munitions," Warren stated. "We have enough munitions to conduct all the operations we need to conduct, as well as maintain a contingency stockade."

On December 4, US Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh said the campaign against the Islamic State, also known as Daesh, is expending munitions faster than it is able to replenish them. Welsh underscored the critical need in providing sufficient funding to ensure military preparedness.

The US-led coalition of 65 nations has been carrying out airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq since August 2014 and in Syria since September 2014, but without the approval of the Syrian government or the UN Security Council.

The Islamic State, also known as Daesh, is a terrorist group outlawed in many countries around the world, including in Russia.
