To translate (correctly, i hope): the neutrinos come from far away and interact with local nuclei, generating photons within the vicinity of the neutrino/nuclear interaction, rather than the photons coming from far away space.

The opposite, the IceCube neutrinos are likely produced in proton-photon interactions near the source with photons from the source rather than being produced in proton-CMB photon (GZK) interactions elsewhere.
