Nukes also have a distinct and easily identifiable P and S Wave pattern. It's how we know that China and the USSR popped at least one nuke off in their border wars back in the 70s.Wouldn't we have had confirmation from satellite surveillance as well? Or were we only watching their known missile fields?

Yes, we would have had satellite confirmation of an above ground detonation if there was a satellite in the area at the time.
The problem is that such records are still classified. The seismographs aren't.
