Three of the four points are aircraft parking lots, the fourth is a depot. As previously reported, before the large-scale combined strike, which took place from May 14 to 15, the Russian squadron of Su-27 fighters, a pair of Su-35 fighters and MiG-31 interceptors was based at the facility (not to be confused with MiG-31K ballistic missiles carriers).
Satellite images shown show that some of them were probably damaged or destroyed. Russian resources in public posts were voiced as damaged/destroyed by two MiG-31 interceptors, a S-400 SAM and a depot with fuels and lubricants.
Regarding the S-400 there is a photo of the destroyed radar and the unknown condition of a launcher of the system:
