I doubt this is a protest.

Either it's criminal violence targeted at the company (the protection racket hypothesis seems likely at this point) or it's something designed to destabilize the government even further. This second idea is less likely because, if that's the intention, a government building would be the target.

Also, the damage to the building itself seems rather minimal. The entrance is completely destroyed and some repairs may be required in the wiring, but the structure seems unaffected. I guess fire suppression systems worked as designed.
