According to Censor.NET, the video shows the industrial site in the distance, with a tall column of grey-white smoke rising above it. It is clearly visible even from a considerable distance.
The footage was filmed from the opposite bank of the reservoir. The smoke rises above the trees and gradually disperses into the sky.
