Terraform Destroy is not destroying the resources in Azure release pipeline

I have used Terraform extension in Azure devops pipeline and using the destroy command.
I have stored the tfstate in backend azure storage and pointed the same tfstate for apply and destroy. The destroy command executed and successfuly. but the message is 0 destroyed and the resource and not removed.
what could be reason and what am i missing

Iā€™m also facing the same issue

I had to specify backend to make this work, not sure if there is another way as well.

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
    resource_group_name  = "rg-name"
    storage_account_name = "strgacct"
    container_name       = "tstate"
    key                  = "xxx=="
  }
