A 5.1-magnitude earthquake detected 19 kilometres from North Korea’s Sungjibaegam nuclear test site was “artificial”, according to South Korea’s YTN news agency.
The quake had a depth of ten kilometres, the US Geological Survey said, while Chinese earthquake networks put it at zero. A 4.9-magnitude earthquake in a similar location was recorded before confirmation of North Korea’s third nuclear test in 2013 at the site.
Officials in Seoul are checking the details of the earthquake with the meteorological office, a government official said. The government is convening an emergency meeting, according to the official Yonhap news agency.
