On the morning of September 1, Russian military reporter shared footage of Russian strike on the field headquarters of the AFU commanders near the town of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) in the DPR which is under control of the Ukrainian military.
According to the report, the building, where the command staff of the AFU had their meeting, was struck with two Iskander missiles. As a result of the strike, the headquarters, together with the officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was reportedly destroyed.
Some reports claimed that the target was allegedly an ammunition depot of the AFU. However, the Russian military is more likely to launch two expensive missiles to destroy a more valuable target, like the AFU command. If confirmed, the successful strike on the Ukrainian military command in the area close to the frontlines indicates the good work Russian intelligence in the region.
The report did not reveal the date of the attack. However, on August 30, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported on another wave of strikes throughout Ukraine which resulted in destruction of the control and intelligence points of the Ukrainian troops. Thus, the footage may show the missile attack which took place on August 29th. The Russian military may also reveal more details in the daily briefing on September 2.
From August 25 to September 1, the Russian military launched five waves of strikes, the Russian Defense Ministry summed up. LINK

if these are the guys responsible for shelling donetsk and killing civilians the 2 missiles have the element of revenge..
no vehicles near the building, it appears empty. the concussion does seem to have ignited some mines in the area however, or tossed some stored ordinance a bit away and then they detonated.
they could be on the other side of the building, and if it is a command centre, your going to be as covert as possible. common sense…
they are not mines going off, that is the electrical lines shorting out. which means that rubble of a building had working power. considering it’s state prior to the missiles, it should not have, but a command post would require power. and it would be standard procedure not to have a military carpark next to a command center, would be a bit obvious wouldn’t it?
there’s an old movie where a russian general mows down the us congress when they’re in session. that’s a beautiful scene. it always gives me hope for the future.
ukraine will probably claim it was a kindergarden, which, in a way, it was…
