The Independent:
A 2.9 magnitude earthquake has been recorded close to a nuclear testing site in North Korea, a US-based monitor has said, fuelling fears the country has tested another hydrogen bomb.
The US Geological Survey said it had recorded the quake around 23km north-east of Sungjibaegam – a known North Korean nuclear testing site.
Although analysts cannot be 100 per cent certain the quake is the result of a nuclear test, it shares many “characteristics” with past tests.
