Walked through this neighbourhood the other day and noticed this.

There are some buildings in the vicinity which remain destroyed.

Oddly enough, there is a house just a few hundred yards from here which is also destroyed, but not from the bombing....it was destroyed by the powers that be as punishment to the occupants, supposedly a high ranking but conspiratorial military figure and his family.
