The title is talking about the magnitude of the explosion, not the quantity of explosives. It's just coincidence that the numbers 275 are in both the weight and magnitude.
From what I read, the blast triggered a shockwave that would measure between 3.5 and 4.5 on the Richter scale. Charts that I saw would place the explosion around 3 to 5 kilotons, so the title is accurate.
