But you see they weren't doing that, even when there were huge military parades there (in artillery range). They were doing fuck all, the biggest thing going on since 2015 and the second ceasefire was when the K2 artillery group (still working in the same area today) fucked up some forward operating bases during a flare up in like 2017. Normally no arty was even allowed at the line of contact due to the ceasefire rules.
And the only one town destroyed after September 2014 was Debaltseve, when the Russian side abolished Minsk I just to attack it with a big offensive involving Russian regulars (the first appearance of formations of Asian soldiers, in the form of Buryat tankists who became known as "Donbas Indians"). On the same day when the declared Minsk I over they also rocketed Mariupol randomly (or was it Kramatorsk, if I leave this tab to check anything my dumb phone will reset everything).
The "bombing" you mentioned was a volley of unguided rockets. They were aimed at the separatist HQ in support of a besieged Luhansk border guard HQ nearby but only 1 rocket hit and the rest exploded in a park in behind it where unfortunately were some random people walking by. These rockets were and are the main armaments of the Su-24s, the Soviets didn't make them for accuracy. Now it's your time to blame "using city as shield" I guess as they barricaded themselves (barricades outside, sandbags in windows) in the city hall that was in the city center instead of a treehouse in a forest or whatever you think it should work like.
