I imagine it was a depot holding more than a few hundred tons of explosives.

Nuclear weapons are measured in kilo-tons, a tactical nuke being .25kt and lil boy being 10kt

The average cargo ship carries upwards of 25kt of cargo. If this depot held even half a cargo ship worth of explosives, this is likely similar to a nuclear weapon yield without the fallout
