Latest North Korea quake shows legacy of instability at nuclear test site: South KoreaA small natural earthquake detected in North Korea on Wednesday was likely a result of seismic instability lingering in the area since North Korea conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test in 2017, the South Korean government said. A magnitude 2.5 earthquake was detected at 9:33 a.m. (0033 GMT) in Hamgyong Province, the location of North Korea’s shuttered Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site, according to South Korea’s Meteorological Administration. “It was a natural earthquake, presumably caused by the sixth nuclear test,” the administration said in a statement on its website.
