Best Answer
  • direct blast effects, e.g. pressure wave crushing organs
  • indirect blast effects, e.g. building collapse, flying glass
  • direct thermal effects, e.g. flash burns
  • indirect thermal effects, e.g. burning buildings
  • suffocation caused by firestorm removing oxygen from shelter
  • prompt radiation poisoning, i.e. exposure at time of burst
  • delayed radiation poisoning, i.e. fallout exposure
  • etc.

Note: except for the radiation poisoning these effects all kill people with conventional high explosive and incendiary bombs.
