Are you even serious? Genghis Khan? Read about literally any modern war fought. Read about WW2, about bombings of North Korea, that might open your eyes:

Why look even that long ago? Look up "Battle of Mosul" (check images in Google) — its 2017, very recent. Look up Ukraine war. All looks the same. But no one cries genocide (because it isn't).
War always comes along with major destruction of cities, because the enemy uses buildings as a fortification.
> many instances of genocide
It's not a genocide, it's just a regular war. Stop abusing the term for god's sake.
Look up typical civilian-to-combatant death ratio in major wars, you'll be surprised.
