Not nuke. There was a fire. Then explosion so like other have said most likely military supplies. I've seen fertilizer factory explosions and saw mills explosions. And they are not like this.

Just saw a before photo. Grain storage. Completely possible the grain ignited and exploded. Navy friends have told me grain is also stored on the docks in beruit. Maybe that's what was in the sheds.

This.

There was a fire, white smoke. There are little sparkles in the fire and smoke. Then something let loose. Red smoke. Like hydrazine fire/smoke. Produces a huge white shockwave. Then returns to red fire/smoke.

I’m thinking a fire caught some big military ordinance on fire which detonated.

I’ve heard of explosion shits from eating to much bran but this can’t be a grain explosion

if it was a nuke, camera would of been fried more likely, and it would be much more devastating. Local media is saying firewoeks, but that does not look like a firework explosion. Military munitions?

Other angles look like there was a fire prior to the explosion so likely something being stored there exploded.

High explosives. Substantial military explosives.

The speed of the shockwave rules out anything non military.
