Time will tell, and it certainly could have been a nuke (they have

that vents to the atmosphere doesn't make such a big cloud.
When the Israeli / South African nuke test was done,
they didn't talk about it, they pretended it hadn't happened,
and the US government, at least publicly, has continued to
pretend that we don't know that Israel has weapons of Mass Destruction.
