* It explained the event occurred in the area of the previous regime nuclear tests
A small earthquake has been detected in North Korea in the same part of the country where previous nuclear tests were conducted.
The United States Geological Survey said the 2.9 magnitude earthquake was recorded 14 miles northeast of Sungjibaegam.
It explained: 'This event occurred in the area of the previous North Korean Nuclear tests.
'The event has earthquake like characteristics, however, we cannot conclusively confirm at this time the nature (natural or human-made) of the event.'

WNU Editor: If these reports are true .... a 2.9 magnitude is very small explosion .... or an aftershock from a previous quake.

Well,hard to know. It might have been a test gone wrong. For example, if it indeed was a hydrogen bomb test, the yield could have been very small - unlikely, looking at the yields of all previous hydrogen bomb tests by eg the US,Russia and France...but still possible.
More likely however, is that if it indeed was a hydrogen bomb test, that only the first part of the bomb, the fission part, exploded, and the second did not. Hence why it could be a test, albeit an "unsuccessful"one (there are nounsuccessful tests, they are tests after all)
It could also be that simple TNT was used to just make more underground test sites/they need to build these after all and TNT might have triggered a collapse of a cavern or a landslide. Either way..sniffers should be able to tell us more in a couple of days
Could it be a miniaturized bomb?
what's with the X axis of that graph? "Average time between tweets".. a prank by the creator? lol
Did we nuke them? Make their their test range impossible to use?
