Radiation warning, levels in the atmosphere lethal enough to threaten loss of life.
KWAJALEIN Atoll is a part of the Marshall Islands where the US has historically performed nuclear testing; they recently test-fired (without live warheads) their MINUTEMAN III ICBMs at the place.
If a nuclear test happened Russia, China and probably others would've certainly detected it, which would imply they're keeping quiet for some reason.
What else would cause lethal radiation levels at a known nuclear testing site?
