‘Artificial’ earthquake detected in North Korea – reports
Apparently man-made seismic activity has been detected in North Korea, South Korean Yonhap news agency reported. The United States Geological Survey confirms a 4.9 magnitude earthquake at a depth of exactly one kilometer in North Korea’s northeast.
The news comes as world governments have been anticipating new nuclear testing in the secretive state after Pyongyang’s January declaration that it would undergo a third nuclear test despite warnings of “consequences” from the UN Security Council.
