” Former US Army explosive ordnance disposal technician Trevor Ball also concluded the fragment was from a GBU-39, telling Sky News, the bomb “has a very distinct solid nose section of the bomb body that gives the munition its capability to penetrate concrete structures”. Ball confirmed the damage visible at the scene was consistent with the use of this weapon. The GBU-39 is a guided glide bomb deployed by aircraft. GPS-assisted, it is designed to facilitate precise, targeted attacks.
