i'm seeing it won't be a complete loss
towers will be preserved
the wood interior though, that looks to be gone

they're already looking for someone to blame
Its already known who is behind it...same people who trued to blow it up in ‘16. I’m not sure you’d find much/any info on that attempt, though.

The bombing of the Bamiyan Buddhas broke my heart as well.
