Was the meeting taking place in those cars driving in front of the building? Because that's where the missile hit. And what happened to the "bases and firing positions"?

Russian Armed Forces are not connected with the explosion in Kharkov

[...] The rocket flew into the center of Kharkov from the west. And there, for example, the 107th rocket artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is located, which prevents the Russian forces from blocking the city. And this unit is armed with "Smerch" - multiple launch rocket systems. The Alder missile is also compatible with these complexes.

[...] And it doesn't fit into the version about the Russian missile the fact that the day before in the very center of Kharkov a gathering of volunteers was announced who would like to join the ranks of the infamous Azov battalion. But before the event, the area was empty.

"Probably, from the point of view of the Russian army, if they knew that at 10 am there would be a gathering of nationalists, it would probably be more logical to carry out this operation not at 8 am, as it was shown on the video, but at 10:20 - 10:30, in order to destroy as many Ukrainian representatives of the Azov battalion as possible with one blow, - Oleg Noginsky, an expert at the Scientific Center for Eurasian Integration, expressed his point of view.

And, although a whole day has passed, the Ukrainian side has not yet demonstrated fragments of a shell that arrived in the city center. Although they usually don't miss such an opportunity and, on the contrary, are in a hurry to talk about the evidence, especially if the markings are preserved on the fragments.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet commented on today's incident in Kharkov, but the department regularly emphasizes that the Russian military doesn't hit civilian targets.
