Sept. 28 (UPI) -- At least 1,114 civilians have been killed since 2014 in the U.S. government's efforts to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the Pentagon announced Thursday.

The U.S. military, under its Operation Inherent Resolve, has conducted 30,008 strikes between August 2014 and end of August 2018, according to a Pentagon news release. During that time, 1,1114 civilians were "unintentionally killed."

However, the number of civilian deaths could be higher because there are still 310 reports that are still open. Many of the open reports are from several years ago, including two from 2014.
