Aftermath

"An aerial view on May 11, 2023, of residential buildings razed to the ground by fighting in Maryinka, an eastern Ukrainian city in the Donetsk region, where heavy battles with Russian troops have been taking place."
The obliteration of the buildings is apparent, and reminiscent of the effects of a tornado.  But zoom in and look at the cratering of the greenspaces to appreciate the extent of the hellfire that must have rained down on this community.
