This image shows various remnants of an air-delivered bomb and a Paveway guidance kit. The blue pen provides a scale indicator, which is necessary to identify which variant of aerofoil (‘airfoil’) group the tail fins belonged to. In this case, they are most likely from an MXU-650-series airfoil group, which are paired with MK-82 500-pound-class bombs. (ARES)

“At around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 8, 2016, Saudi/UAE-led Coalition forces attacked a community hall in Amanat Al-Asimah Governorate. The hall was packed with about 1,500 guests attending the funeral of Ali Al-Rawishan, father of Yemeni interior minister Jalal Al-Rawishan. Multiple survivors of the airstrike reported that three bombs struck the funeral gathering approximately five minutes apart; at least one of these bombs was a US-made GBU-12. According to the UN, the attack killed more than 140 people and wounded more than 525.”
