The RT article says "Cluster Bomb". It wasn't, but it was clearly hit by at least two missiles. There is a video floating around of one of the missile passing through a tree. This is probably why it didn't hit the floor where the Lugansk Rebel group was meeting, but impacted on the outside of the floor below.
The guest commentator on RT said that this is a test for Russia, that they “must react to.”
It’s getting hard to keep track of Who’s Who in the Zoo in this conflict ,fight ,war , Blah
Ruptly video of the aftermath. Warning: Very Graphic

Is there anything about this from Reuters, the Associated Press, or any of the 24-hour cable-news channels?
Russia’s statement:
Russia on Monday condemned the Kiev authorities’ air raid on the eastern Ukrainian city of Lugansk.
“On June 2, the Kiev authorities committed another crime against their own people. As a result of a bombardment by the Ukrainian Armed Forces aviation of the building of the Lugansk Region State Administration, Ukrainian civilians were killed,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.
“What happened shows the Kiev authorities’ blatant unwillingness to follow the path of seeking nationwide accord in the country,” the ministry said.
“Once again, Kiev has grossly violated the deals agreed in the Geneva statement of April 17 and developed in the roadmap of the OSCE Swiss presidency,” it said.

About the only firm conclusions to be made here are, people were injured, some killed, and that it will take time to figure out what actually took place here.
From all I've seen this was a Kiev attack....deliberate or not remains to me seen but they are clearly trying to dodge the obvious IMO. There's a lot of video now of where the cluster bomb hit the grounds creating various holes etc. Also witnesses stepping forward who were there.
I also saw from inside the building and clearly this did not happen from within the building by how the damage was seen and evaluated by the firemen and journalists etc.
Bottom line is, and cannot be denied...Kiev Army continues to bomb the East...and that directive comes directly from the Us/Nato and Keiv Government. Keiv actually has no choice......no money from IMF and other sources without following those directives.
Further the US and NAto don't care what "collateral" damage occurs, nor the political fallout for the new Presidency....they are after the resources as follows:
News ubdate:
"The Ministry of justice of Ukraine proposes to seize the property of Russian companies"...(the Ukraine companies will be divided among the Olagarchs of course)
"Nationalizing companies, and right on schedule...which of course is the next step to selling them out to the largest International companies thus "the plan" when a nation is seized for it's resources to accomadate the Globalist Agenda for NWO....... , again, leaving citizens of Ukrainians with nothing but debt....giving EU and US ability to strong arm them in the future. All their gas and oil has already been farmed out now to US corporations etc...the raping of Ukraine continues! Next will be the clean up where International companies and the IMF will float dollars in and out from one another....this to will be according to schedule. Sickening isn't it?
Can't get much closer to Russia. Putin's planes could be there pretty quick.
Video immediately after the rocket attack. just now hitting the Russian Media in multiple tweets.
WARNING: VERY GRAPHIC.

Mongo, the problem is that they should have done it long time ago but unfortunately they didn't... One 500 kg aerial bomb could totally destroy that building. This incident looks more like Kremlinwood in action.
Keiv’s Gov. is coming up with a new story each hour! Next we’ll hear it’s the pilots fault....I won’t be surprised.
-Rebels launched a MANPAD missile into an air conditioner
-Rebel ATGM barrage
-Rebel UAV fired rockets
-And now it’s all apparently been staged.
Kiev attacks this...Kiev attacks that....crud!
Kiev is a city, it is the Ukrainian military that is fighting to rid Ukrainian of Russian terrorists and invaders.
If this building was hit by Ukrainian forces and that is still “if” it is part of war when you are defending your nation against terrorists and invaders.
RT is just a Russian propaganda machine like you.
The pro-Russian leadership in the city immediately accused the Ukrainian air force of carrying out the attack. A fighter jet had been flying overhead at the time, and social media video appeared to show it firing cannon or rockets. The authorities in Kiev denied its planes had been involved. Initially, the anti-terrorist operation said the explosion originated from inside the building, then that an anti-aircraft missile operated by the separatists had misfired, reacting to heat from an air-conditioning system on the outside of the building.
But a CNN investigation in Luhansk has found clear evidence that whatever detonations hit the building and the adjoining park came from the air. The tops of trees were splintered, and a series of small craters — about a dozen — had been blasted in a straight line, starting in the park and reaching the walls of the building, blowing out many of its windows and spraying the area with jagged shrapnel. That's what appears to have killed most of the victims and injured 20 more.
The pattern of the craters clearly indicated some sort of strafing, according to a munitions expert at the scene with CNN. Their size suggested 30-millimeter ordnance, he said, which is standard equipment on the Su-25, a ground attack fighter, and the Su-27 — both combat aircraft operated by Ukraine.
