This image shows a remnant of an SUU-30H/B air-delivered dispenser (cargo munition), that comprised a CBU-58A/B ‘Cluster Bomb Unit’ (CBU). The CBU-58A/B carries 650 BLU-63A/B anti-personnel submunitions, that have a total explosive weight of 163 lbs (~74 kg) of COMP B explosive; this is reflected in the visible markings. (ARES)

"At about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, 2015, the Saudi/UAE-led Coalition dropped three cluster bombs on a residential area in Bani Haddad village, Haradh District, Hajjah Governorate. The first bomb struck the home of 28-year-old civilian and farmer Majed Saheli, killing Majed, his wife, and their five children. The second and third bombs killed another three civilians and injured six, all from Majed’s extended family. The Coalition used a US-made cluster bomb, the CBU-58, in the attack."
