A 5.3 magnitude earthquake has been reported in North Korea, according to the United States Geological Survey. The incident occurred near nuclear test sites, raising speculation that Pyongyang has conducted new tests.

The seismic activity, also confirmed by a European monitoring agency, comes amid speculation that the DPRK was preparing for a fifth nuclear test. A South Korean government source said that it sees a “high possibility” that the DPRK has conducted its latest underground nuclear test, according to Yonhap news agency, which described it as an “artificial quake.”

“Possible explosion, located near the location where North Korea has detonated nuclear explosions in the past. If this is indeed an explosion, the USGS National Earthquake Information Center cannot determine what type of explosion it may be, whether nuclear or any other possible type,” USGS said.
