I was talking about the tactical nuke that might have been stored there. By the way, the locals in Toropets said that the explosion would be much bigger if another storage facility was hit. Perhaps they were talking about some deep storage with a nuke that remained intact. And this is probably the reason why the Ruscists now strictly forbid any publication of the aftermath.

The explosion of the nuke in the storage is very different from the explosion of the intentionally exploded armed nuke. It may not even explode at all, but only spread radioactive material.

But in this case, the radioactivity level did not increase, so evidently no nuke was hit.
