Quote: "We are able to indicate the likely region of the source..."
Then tell us who. And since they didn't said it in the first place, I bet is mother Russia again.

Had you included the full quote you would have known why they did not point out the exact location: "We are able to indicate the likely region of the source, but it’s outside the CTBTO’s mandate to identify the exact origin"
If I interpret it correctly it means that they do not know the exact location and other organisations will now have to investigate it further to get the exact origin.
And including the entire quote would've made no difference on the region, but the origin. I differentiate between source region (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia as indicated in the twitter post) and origin (a nuclear plant, a mining operation etc - that's for me meaning origin of radionuclides).
Sounds more like they are pretty sure where but aren't allowed to say.
