Experts suggest the quake, which measured 2.9 on the Richter scale, could mean the region has be destabilised by the country’s September 3 hydrogen bomb test, which caused a 6.3 magnitude earthquake
And they warned the Punggye-ri nuclear site may not be used for much longer to test nuclear weapons.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows the quake was detected just 23 kilometres from Sungjibaegam, a town close to the Punggye-ri nuclear test site and added that it cannot confirm whether the earthquake was natural or man-made.
A statement on the US Geological Survey website reads: "This event occurred in the area of the previous North Korean Nuclear tests.
"The event has earthquake-like characteristics, however, we cannot conclusively confirm at this time the nature (natural or human-made) of the event.
The small quake was detected early on Friday near the North's nuclear test site, South Korea's weather agency said, but unlike quakes associated with nuclear tests, it did not appear to be manmade.
And the region has since been hit by a series of landslide and tremors in the wake of the incident.

rofl!!
Somewhere in a North Korean concentration camp there is a geologist muttering under his breath, “I told you this was going to happen, fat boy.”
With some of their scientist missing, it may be that China decided to blow up their testing site. One can always wish!
Thanks, I don’t remember hearing the B17 story.
