I'm all for using the lifecycle prefix, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix. I agreed that if there's still remains there use ruined or destroyed, not sure what the difference is though. Once it's been cleared you could use demolished, removed or raised, again not sure what the difference is. While damaged is not documented it seems the perfect fit since there is no other suitable tag for this on the wiki. You'd probably need local knowledge to know all this, from the Maxar imagery you can see houses and trace them not sure how easy it will be to see destroyed houses though, will need to wait for the post event imagery to come out.
