Seoul: 2.5-magnitude quake detected near North Korea site
Jan. 29 (UPI) – A 2.5-magnitude earthquake was detected in an area near North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear test site, according to South Korea's meteorological agency on Wednesday.
The tremor occurred on Wednesday at 9:33 a.m. local time in an area near Kilju, North Hamgyong Province, the agency said.
The minor earthquake is believed to be the result, or the aftermath, of North Korea's sixth nuclear test, which occurred in September 2017, Seoul said.
Experts have previously said North Korea's sixth test may have involved a bomb that released the same energy as 108 kilotons of TNT. In 2017, they had also warned of a major environmental disaster as a result of the explosion, or a mountain collapse.
