It's no good as an antiaircraft weapon, so the Russians fire it in the general direction of civilians on the ground. They've done the same with S-300s many times.

There have been many reports with photos from Ukraine about S-300 strikes on civilians and civilian infrastructure on the ground (mostly apartments, yards and streets).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-300_missile_system "The system can destroy ground targets at a range of 120 km (19,000 fragments or 36,000 according to various missiles). When launched against ballistic missiles, the range reaches up to 400 km.[9][72]...On 8 July, the governor of the Mykolaiv Oblast, Vitaly Kim, claimed that Russia has been using S-300 missiles in a land attack role by fitting them with GPS guidance and that some 12 missiles were fired this way.[100] On 30 September, The Wall Street Journal reported that 16 Russian S-300 missiles configured for ground attack struck near Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 30 civilians and wounding 50 others.[101][101]"
