A nuclear test or, worst, H-Bomb test?

PRK SEPT. 2017 UNUSUAL SEISMIC EVENT
CTBTO's monitoring stations picked up an unusual seismic event in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) today at 03:30 (UTC).

So far 34 of our stations are contributing to the analysis. The event seems to have been larger than the one our system recorded in September last year and the location is very similar to that event.

Our initial location estimate shows that the event took place in the area of the DPRK’s nuclear test site.

Location for Google earth research: LAT=41.3 LON=129.1

The "event" is described as an unusual seismic event -


Our experts are now analysing the event to establish more about its nature and we are preparing to brief our Member States today in Vienna.

“If confirmed as a nuclear test, this act would indicate that the DPRK's nuclear programme is advancing rapidly.

It constitutes yet another breach of the universally accepted norm against nuclear testing; a norm that has been respected by all countries but one since 1996.

It also underlines yet again the urgent need for the international community to act on putting in place a legally binding ban on nuclear testing once and for all.

I urge the DPRK to refrain from further nuclear testing and to join the 183 States Signatories who have signed the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).

N.Korea claims it will launch an EMP attack on/over the US. - see: http://www.torontosun.com/2017/09/03/north-korea-openly-threatens-emp-attack-for-the-first-time-changing-the-game


The North said it had tested an H-bomb that was “a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.”

When is an earthquake a NUCLEAR test ?

I think we need to be careful and mindful here because the West is building up a case for a pre-emptive strike on N Korea.
