It’s a shame I can’t include in the comment the legendary photo of Fraga, Minister of Information and Tourism, and Angier Biddle Duke, the United States ambassador, bathing together in Palomares to quell rumors of pollution that would have affected tourism in the area.

Actually in 1979, the Soviet Union conducted an underground nuclear explosion (as part of a nuclear experiment) at the Klivazh site in what is today Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. That was not a military attack, it was part of a now-discontinued Soviet program for so-called “peaceful nuclear explosions.”

Aside from the known weapons test, Australia had one [suspected nuclear explosion in 1993](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjawarn_Station#Seismic_event), on some Outback land that turned out to be owned by the Japanese Aum Shinrikyo doomsday cult, who were mining uranium there. It’s unclear whether it really was nuclear though, and there are other theories about what happened as well.
I just find it amusing that Australia’s Outback is so damned huge and remote, that we’re capable of being *unsure whether someone blew up a nuke out there* or not.

Morocco should be blue based on the January 31, 1958 incident at Sidi Slimane. My parents and sister were there and had to evacuate the base. My sister still has trauma because of it.

If in South Africa they mean the Vela incident, that happened a few 1000 km off the coast.

What counts as an attack is a politically loaded value judgement.
