Neither, it was just a lot of ordinance, probably stored out in the open, and it got hit. DU cannot make a nuclear explosion.... at all, never.
And great big explosions are not uncommon in history.
Nobody nuked anybody.
60 tons is not a massive number.
60 kilotons would be an eye opener, though.
Good that you begin your explanation with a frank admission of your severe intellectual limitations.
The explosion was conventional. Over the centuries, there have been multiple accidental chemical explosions on U.S. soil that were much bigger.
The DU tank gun ammo being stored at the depot found some way to explode in a nuclear fashion.
Ludicrous! Frankly impossible! You obviously have ZERO understanding of nuclear physics.
NATO fops and/or neocon wankers [...]
Pure speculation on your part.

3rd possibility, 60 tons of 155 shells, propellant, etc was stored in the open. That is about 150 pallets of shells worth of stuff. Not at all unreasonable to move and store.
It happened at the battle of Roi Namur in WWII. A Jap bunker held about 100 torpedoes with 1000 pound warheads. A hapless Marine threw in a satchel charge and 100k pounds of explosives went off.
Just cannot see it being a nuke. And if a NATO nuke went off, Ukraine would howl that Russia had nuked them and NATO needed to come into the war fully.
Brought to us by the same hysterics that claimed the ChiComs lauched a sub missile off the Calif coast?
I have been close (!-2 miles) to a bomb dump getting hit. It is quite spectacular, even looking like a nuke fireball.
No initial flash signature, but a righteous bang and shock wave.
if a nuclear weapon is used as a weapon of war, the first notification will come from space-based networks (e.g. the US DSP or the Russian Oko) looking for the characteristic double flash of a nuclear detonation.
You shouldn’t speculate like this. There’s already way to much propaganda and fake news about this war.
Nuclear weapons do not work like this FRiend and as little faith as I have in our neocon masters this is reckless speculation and exhibits a complete lack of understanding of how such weapons function.
PS - the Beirut explosion with simple ammonium nitrate was far larger than this one. I believe it was between 500-1100 tons.
The CNN of Muskovite propagandists.
There was a 280mm atomic cannon at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds museum which I wanted. Tried to take it but it wouldn’t fit into my minivan. Gonna need a bigger vehicle next time. /sarcasm
PS My father during WW2 worked on testing the 4.2” chemical mortar, WP aka Willy Peter, White Phosphorous, at Edgewood Arsenal/Aberdeen Proving Grounds. He was in the Chemical Warfare Service/USA. Proud of him.
Oh ganeemead, you will always be my favorite Russian propagandist. The absurdity of your posts increases with the desperation in the Kremlin.
Speaking of which, you might want to advise your master in Moscow to consider another “goodwill gesture” and pull his shattered army out of sovereign Ukraine before it is totally destroyed and there is nothing left to protect him from the likes of Prigozhin and Kadyrov.
You seem to think these are nuclear weapons that set off a small nuclear bomb.
