They were grounded and hit with explosives.

Those birds are toast.

The report also stated that the aircraft were damaged by the missile attack, but not completely destroyed. The affected aircraft are currently being repaired, and no casualties were reported in the incident.

Destroyed in title. Damaged in article. Top tier journalism.

Yeah I dont know how the army does it, but civilian aircraft would have to be "repaired" by being stripped and rebuilt or they'd never be considered flight ready. The distinction between destroyed and damaged is just the Air Force saving face.
