According to reports from the U.S. Geological Survey, there was a small, 4.9 magnitude earthquake in North Korea earlier tonight. The tremor's epicenter was reportedly near North Korea's previous nuclear test sites, where nuclear devices were detonated in 2006 and 2009, fueling rumors that the quake was the result of a nuclear explosion.

South Korean media is reporting a "man-made earthquake" and the South Korean Defense Ministry raised its alert level after the quake was reported.

The Associated Press reports that a U.N. Nuclear test monitoring organization called the tremor an "unusual seismic event."
"There is a high possibility that North Korea has conducted a nuclear test," said Chi Heoncheol, an earthquake specialist at the institute. Chi said a magnitude 3.9 magnitude earthquake and a magnitude 4.5 earthquake were detected in the North's 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.

    1984 cliff notes version: super power creates a random enemy that they're at "war with" to keep population from rising against Totalitarian Rule. We're North Korea's Eurasia/Eastasia.

    Wow, if this is true America and South Korea will be very careful with North Korea from now on. I also think America's enemies just found a new nation to try to buy bombs from

    North Korea will launch a nuke at China rendering them a fallen nation. In retaliation, America will lob a nuke on North Korea, effectively turning that country into a pit of human ash and rubble.

    North Korea poses a legitimate threat to the world. (especially the US and China)
    They won't negotiate whatsoever, ? 'em.
    Them ? need to be whiped off the face of the earth, period.

    this board reeks of this scripture right here....

    Revelation 18-7:8"...Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow I will never mourn.

    then with this north korean situation, this situation reeks of this...

    Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord ? who judges her

    It'll be a damn shame, because S.Korea makes some good manwha/webtoons (korean version of manga)

    I hop they don't get caught up in whatever happens, but that's impossible.

    True but if enough enemies of America get nukes we're in trouble....NK has them and Iran wants them soon....not worried but as I've said before, America needs to learn to get along more with people instead of bombing and killing day in day out, it's tying us down anyway and giving our reputation more harm then good

    "every" nation has nukes? ... yea i doubt that lol. especially with america playing principal to the world. why do you think america and china have been trying to reason with them to chill on the nukes.

    remember bush used the "weapons of mass destruction" card to go into what was it, iraq? to go to war? yea.. nukes is not world wide, brah.

    you missed the point also.
