Analyst Note
This image shows a remnant of a control fin from a Paveway III bomb guidance kit that is compatible with 2,000-pound-class air-delivered bombs. In U.S. service, this combination receives designations in the GBU-24 series. Based off this remnant alone, it cannot be determined which model of air-delivered bomb was paired with this particular guidance kit. (ARES)

"On the morning of Monday, September 14, 2015, the Saudi/UAE-led Coalition dropped five bombs — at least one of which appears to have been a US-made GBU-24 laser-guided bomb — on the Wa’lan Agricultural Complex in Bilad Ar-Rus District, Sana’a Governorate. The strike killed eight civilians — including seven members of a single family and two children — and injured twelve more, half of them children. The Complex’s five residential apartments, which housed agricultural engineers, were all destroyed in the attack. The nearest military site identified was a camp about 500 meters to the west of the Complex."
