North Korea has been rocked by a 3.4
magnitude earthquake sparking fears the nuclear-obsessed nation may be
testing more missiles.
The tremor was
detected in the Kilju area in the North Hamgyong province by the South
Korean meteorological agency and China’s official Xinhua News Agency.
The
earthquake was detected at 8.30am GMT at a depth of zero miles, with
the Chinese news agency saying it was a ‘suspected explosion’.
Recent
tremors coming from within North Korea have been due to Kim Jong-un’s
nuclear tests, the latest of which was earlier this month.
The
quake detected today was near one of communist state’s nuclear test
sites and is roughly the same magnitude as the September 3 earthquake,
which turned out to be a nuclear test.
Yet South Korea’s weather agency claimed they believed the quake may have been a natural earthquake.
