Large conventional bombs can do that - which since this was a munitions depot, would make sense.

The fertilizer plant in Waco, TX that exploded a few years ago had a similar mushroom cloud as well. It was estimated that the explosion was the equivalent of 100 tons of TNT.

In any case, you don’t want to be anywhere near something that’s producing mushroom clouds, nuclear or not.
