The epicenter was at a depth of 5 km: two earthquakes (map) occurred in the DPRK near the military training ground (map)

It is known that the first earthquake happened at 3 am, and the second - almost 8 am. Both cataclysms were little power. There is no information about any destruction. On Sunday, August 13, two small natural earthquakes occurred in North Korea, which became the last in a series of natural earthquakes that have occurred in the region in recent months. About it reports the State Meteorological Agency of South Korea, writes Yonhap. The first magnitude earthquake of 2.

7 occurred about 40 km northwest of Kinguj, the province of North Hamgen, at 3:13 in the morning, and the second earthquake of magnitude 2. 3 occurred 42 km northwest of Kitju at 7:55 am, report in meteorological management. The epicenter of the first earthquake was located 41. 3 degrees North latitude and 129. 19 degrees of east longitude at a depth of 15 km, and the epicenter of the second earthquake was 41. 31 degrees of northern latitude and 129. 16 degrees Eastern longitude at a depth .

We will remind, Kingju is a nuclear landfill of Pungieri, where North Korea conducted all six of its nuclear trials. The destruction at the landfill is not reported. But even if they were, the DPRK was likely to be silent about them. In 2022 alone, eight natural earthquakes occurred in the area. Interestingly, there is no on the website of the Euro-Mediterranean seismological center of mention of earthquakes in the DPRK.

According to them, at about three o'clock in the morning there were underground shocks in Chile, Argentina and India, and at about seven o'clock in the Philippines, again in India and Mexico. Last year, the DPRK worked on the restoration of some tunnels at the Pungieri training ground, which were closed in 2018. The North Korea regime then announced the termination of nuclear tests and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Kim Jong -in later stated that nuclear tests would be restored.

A few days earlier, the head of the Korean People's Democratic Republic Kim Jong-in released the commander-in-chief of the country's army and called for additional preparation for a possible war. Kim Jong -in commanded to expand the production of weapons, urged to produce more rocket engines, artillery and other weapons.
