See also Dense Inert Metal Explosive, which works by mixing an explosive with a powdered non-burning metal like Tungsten. (Aluminum or Iron would burn and contribute to explosive effects.) This causes much more severe damage at the site of the explosion, but the powder rapidly loses energy moving through air so should cause very little damage some distance away. A problem is that there's a "middle ground" where bystanders aren't killed but sustain untreatable wounds loaded with possibly toxic metal powder.
Overall, I think it is good to have tools that enable higher-precision strikes with lower collateral damage. It is also good to have diligent accountability for the use of any military force so it is only happening when absolutely necessary, and in the most responsible way possible.
