After news of 427 bodies in Kalinin hospital was revealed a #Donetsk PR "minister" arrived, made short & utterly obscenity clear "no leaks".

Note that also buildings outside of the area has been damaged.
Conclusion
Even though some people argue that it may not be a Tochka-U, fact is that the destruction is of an unknown level and typical for a Tochka-U.
It has not happened as an answer to the repeated attacks on Donetsk airport. It already happened long before that, but never got much attention. The video above only has 1223 hits at the time I included it here.

Earlier the Ukrainian soldiers located at military unit 3023 surrendered without a fight:
