Bombing the Houthis with Advanced Weapons May Allow Them to Fall in Wrong Hands

 Business Insider published on 25 April 2025 an article titled "It Looks Like a StormBreaker May Have Landed Intact in Yemen, Raising the Risk the US Bomb Could Fall into the Wrong Hands" by Jake Epstein.  

US military aircraft appear to be using advanced "GBU-53/B StormBreaker" precision glide bombs in combat against the Houthis in Yemen.  An image has appeared in social media of a fully intact StormBreaker half buried in the sand in Yemen.  The concern is that it could fall in the wrong hands even though it is located in an area of Yemen not controlled by the Houthis.
