North Korea: Large quake detected close to nuclear test site

A magnitude five earthquake has been detected in North Korea, amid reports the country had been preparing for its fifth nuclear test.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency said it had been an "artificial quake".

The US Geological Survey said the tremor had been detected in the north-east of North Korea, close to a known nuclear test site.

There has been no confirmation from the North as yet that a nuclear test has been carried out.

Recent satellite imagery and intelligence has indicated increased activity at the Punggye-ri site, where North Korea carried out its fourth nuclear test in January.

The country is banned by UN sanctions from any tests of nuclear or missile technology.

But in recent months it has conducted a series of missile launches and has threatened to carry out nuclear attacks on its enemies.

This is a total shot in the dark, as I have absolutely zero knowledge of anything here...

But would it stand to reason that setting off several nuclear explosions underground could cause an earthquake? And, if it was a successful detonation, wouldn't they be banging the propaganda drums?

Maybe there's no one to bang the drums?

They've been testing missiles so idk why they would go back to underground test but not an expert...
