As you will see from the article this is just one amongst a number of laser based ASAT systems that Russia is developing or has already deployed. Some appear to be designed to dazzle a satellite temporarily others to permanently blind an electro-optical satellite. Possibly both government and commercial satellites would be considered targets. They also appear to be developing systems to operate against radar satellites.
