Analyst Note
Contextual images of the damage caused by this munition indicate the remnant pictured is from the AGM-114R9X variant of the Hellfire missile, a kinetic munition which does not carry an explosive warhead. This remnant cannot be differentiated from the JAGM-179 or other AGM-114 variants based off this image alone. (ARES)
