In 2006, they did it on the East side of that mountain (in a tunnel, they crammed the firecrackers in there), and the intel I have is that this time they did it in the same tunnel, but packed it in from the West. Also this explosion is LARGER than their test under the Bush Administration in 2006.
ROK on national alert. DPRK News has carried the report. Japan government going into alert as well. Reports are streaming in. 11+35 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday

I worked at the Nevada Test Site back in the 80’s and detonations could be felt but by no means was it excused as an earthquake. NK is much closer to the surface on this.
6 miles down?
Quick, let’s send them some aid. /s
