Earthquake Detected Near North Korea’s Nuclear Test Site

TheUS Geological Surveyhas noted seismic activity — a magnitude 5.1 quake — near a known North Korean atomic trial center . The last clock time this happened , it was thanks to the surreptitious explosion of a nuclear machine .

North Korea has yet to issue a command on the event , so for the sentence being , theUSGS reportis all there is to go on : a magnitude 5.1 earthquake was logged 12 miles northeast of Sungjibaegam at about 8:30 p.m. ET .

In 2013 , the USGS record another 5.1 earthquake in the same place . Thatturned out to be make by an undercover atomic trial , so it ’s not much of a leap to take over the same trigger for today ’s outcome .
