Old Footage Circulates as Recent Ukrainian Strike on Russian Oil Refinery

A video has been circulating on social media showing a large explosion at what appears to be an oil refinery, with flames and thick smoke rising from an industrial facility consistent with petroleum-processing infrastructure.
