This wasn’t even a one-off, as any weapon available was used to reduce/destroy buildings.

In the 1960s, cover sheets for satellite reconnaissance intel products actually had a keyhole on the front -- in reference to the compartment "Talent Keyhole." The compartment came from the idea that the US was peeking through a keyhole into denied territories. pic.twitter.com/eQ9tpVorLL
