The U.S. Geological Survey says a 6.3-magnitude “explosion” was detected in North Korea on Sunday.
“Possible explosion, located near the site where North Korea has detonated nuclear explosions in the past,” says a statement on the USGS website. “If this event was an explosion, the USGS National Earthquake Information Center cannot determine its type, whether nuclear or any other possible type.”
