According to an update(
http://news.kbs.co.kr/article/local/200608/20060826/1210266.html ),
it occurred near Pan-kyo, Kangwon Province, N. Korea,
the magnitude of explosion is equivalent to that of setting off two metric tons of TNT,
such explosions have been frequently detected near Pan-kyo recently.
IMHO, N. Koreans must be constructing an underground installation(a missile base?) inside hard rock formation.

Missile base, superdeep shelter, something like that.

Could they be calibrating their equipment by doing underground explosions?

How about a surface mininng operation?
In the SF bay area, there is a mine that regularly has 1.5-2.0 tremors. it is next to the San Andreas fault and the map showing them always says "(posssible quarry explosion)"

Probably blowing up rock to make underground facilities.
