North Korea’s nuclear tests awaken fault lines pointing to huge volcano at China border

A joint Chinese and South Korean study published in the journal Science reveals that North Korea's underground nuclear tests between 2013 and 2017 at the Punggye-ri test site beneath Mount Mantap have fundamentally altered the region's geological stability. These five nuclear explosions triggered seismic events that activated ancient fault lines. These fault lines extend towards a dangerous volcano located approximately 100 kilometers away. The study highlights the significant geological impact of these tests.
