CNN) -- The U.S. Geological Survey reported a seismic disturbance in northern North Korea on Tuesday, centered near the site of the secretive regime's two previous nuclear tests.
The area around the reported epicenter of the magnitude 4.9 disturbance has little or no history of earthquakes or natural seismic hazards, according to U.S. Geological Survey maps. The disturbance took place at a depth of about 1 kilometer, the USGS said.
There were no initial reports concerning the activity on the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday.
The reclusive, Stalinist state announced last month that it planned a new nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches, all of which it said were part of a new phase of confrontation with the United States.
U.S. analysts say North Korea's first bomb test, in October 2006, produced an explosive yield at less than 1 kiloton (1,000 tons) of TNT. A second test in May 2009 is believed to have been about two kilotons, National Intelligence Director James Clapper told a Senate committee in 2012.
By comparison, the bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 was a 15-kiloton device.
In May 2012, North Korea said it had amended its constitution to formally proclaim itself a "nuclear state."

It'll look really serious beside the articles defending freedom of expression, the right to elected representative, and the right for foreigners to pursue their interests while on NK's territory.

Send that video to Iran with another note.

Frazz thought the selection process was too long and boring. Whilst the world was watching NK test a nuke he snuck into the Vatican with his weiner cardinals and snatched the pontiffs hat.
Wait you didn't see the smoke from the chimney? Jeez keep up with the times.

... could we campaign for Robbie Coltrane ? That'd be awesome and oh so apt.

Ok I laughed.
I remember Hitchens talking about North Korea--he had said no matter what, he wasn't going to resort to 1984 cliches.
Then he was thrown against a wall and asked what charges--the guard said we don't have to tell you and he thought well, to hell with it, I'm using the 84' cliche...
I believe Hitchens was also the first to label them a necrocracy...

It was a 7 Kiloton bomb. Accordingly, the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima was 20 kiloton.
Is now the time we are all suppose to panic about suitcase nukes, ticking time bomb scenarios, and raise the threat level to Ripe Citrus Fruit levels? The U.S. response should be to yawn and shrug.
However, I'm sure our allies are a little worked up over it, especially Japan and South Korea. Maybe this along with China's South China Sea ambitions will lead to a remilitarized Japan... with Mecha suits!

It's going to be hilarious when their next nuke blows up prematurely and destroys the entire country. I wonder if they'll ask for help?

All these things are true.

You incoherent oafish tubeworms think DPRK is nothing but a merry tomfoolery, but we will have the aftermost chortle thanks to the paramount robustness and refined discernment of our Great Successor!
And that is why you hear people yelling FOR THE EMPEROR rather than FOR LOGICAL AND QUANTIFIABLE BASED DECISIONS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE MAJORITY!
