This one appears to be a holding facility for newly-arrived missiles from North Korea. I've seen suggestions that more than 100 of them were destroyed in this hit. These are missiles that Russia has paid massively over the odds for from North Korea to augment their own very slow production rate, so losing a hundred of them in a single hit without them being used to hit anything is a big loss.
Ukraine is also widening its cordon-like ring around its borders in which it can hit ammo and fuel dumps and depots. The more it does this, the more it complicates Russian logistics, forcing them to drive ordinary trucks (sometimes ordinary cars) with fuel and ammo to the front over long distances interdicted by Ukrainian drones. This slows down Russian resupply at the front, which has on some occasions led to Russian forces having to retreat after running out of ammunition and/or fuel.
