Man-made or nuclear testing?

Chinese authorities have confirmed a magnitude 3.4 earthquake has been detected near to the nuclear testing site, in a “suspected explosion” sparking fears that North Korea have conducted another nuclear test.

However, South Korean officials have said this could be a natural quake as two seismic events have now been triggered, therefore this being “unlikely” to be man-made.

Tensions are extremely heightened after President Trumps horrific speech at the UN where he called Kim-Jong-un the “rocket man,” Jong-un said that Trump’s speech was the “most ferocious declaration of war in history.”

Jong-un said that will consider his response being the “highest level of hard-line countermeasure.”

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) have said they are unable to make a decision as to what may have caused this earthquake on Saturday.

The USGS said that their seismologists confirmed it happened at a depth of 5KM and said, We cannot conclusively confirm at this time the nature [natural or human made] of the event.”
