Samarra Shrine's Golden Dome "Heavily Damaged"

This is merely "heavily damaged"? That's how I heard the damage described on NPR this morning. That's how they've captioned the pictures at The New York Times. And I guess if they are talking about the entire shrine that's largely accurate. But if they are talking about the dome, and a lot of news reports today are explicitly talking about that, to my eye "completely destroyed" is a more accurate description.
