The missile variant is capable of having designated missile “impact zones” and “avoidance zones” programmed to determine where the missile can or can’t impact when used on missions. Bellingcat was not able to determine what caused the missile to strike the apartment building.

These missiles are designed to target ground-based radar emitting targets, such as air defence systems like the Buk-M2E used by Venezuela’s military.
US Navy aircraft were photographed in the region with AGM-88E AARGM missiles in the weeks before the operation.

According to visual evidence and experts, the remnants seen in the videos taken at the apartment building appear to show an AGM-88 series missile. A BSU-60 tail fin that can be seen in one aftermath video is used exclusively with the AGM-88 series missile.
