Here is the follow-up story of the M270 destruction by Russia's Iskander missile

The War Zone cannot independently verify the claim that the M270 was destroyed. However, the conflagration caused by the missile certainly seems powerful enough to have ruined whatever was inside the building, which appeared to have been a forward arming and refueling facility. Stored weapons and fuel would certainly add to the intensity of any explosion resulting from such a strike.
“The footage shows the result of another successful work of Russian intelligence officers,” The_Wrong_Side bragged on Telegram Friday. “For unknown reasons, the equipment did not carry out launches (probably a technical malfunction occurred), after which it was tracked to its home base.”
“According to the already established tradition, the Iskander sent its greetings to Western equipment, completely destroying it, the escort vehicle, as well as at least 25 Ukrainian Armed Forces specialists working in the hangar,” The_Wrong_Side claimed, which we also cannot verify.
Iskander-M short-range ballistic missiles are among Russia’s most valuable precision-guided standoff weapons. They are now being used for fast-reaction strikes for exactly these kinds of time-sensitive targets. It’s really the only major precision strike munition Russia has capable of reliably hitting these kinds of high-value targets on very short notice as the Russian Air Forces has not achieved air superiority. We have seen repeated examples, for instance, of air defense systems found by Russian drones behind the front lines that are then struck by an Iskander-M.
