How Much Can Satellite Images Tell Us About Damage After an Airstrike?

Satellite images can show damaged buildings or changes at a military site after an airstrike, but how far can analysts safely go in interpreting them? I’m trying to understand what imagery can establish on its own, and what still needs confirmation from local reporting, official records, or other sources.

For example, can an image reliably show when damage occurred or whether a facility was operational? Where do experts draw the line between visible evidence and speculation?
