In the AAIR record the damage code was No damage. However, according to Shao (2021), an American crew who arrived to inspect the aircraft on Dec. 20th discovered that the aircraft's engine damage was too severe to repair. Therefore, the aircraft was deliberately burnt up after valuable parts were removed.
