I've been checking Google Earth, and there are two sites near Kilju / Kilchu that could be the sites where it was detonated. The placemarks are here and here.

[NinoFan]

Where you hearing that?

[daybreakcoming]

I've been thinking China has been doing the wink-wink nod-nod dance the last few days.

"How long until Iran will be testing their bomb upon Israel? "

Probably sometime next week and the world will end on Friday.

[Laserman]

Unfortunately, the NK have missiles that can reach Alaska and soon will have missiles that can reach most of the continental US.

U.S. Intelligence now states that they believe that North Korea has tested a nuclear device...

[rjp2005]

A long time, probably never. Israel has an arsenal that could disintegrate Iran in a heartbeat, as well as ABM system to shoot down any nuke firecracker Iran lobs at them.

The threat of retaliation will keep Iran in the conventional war mode in regards to Israel.

[The South Texan]

Doesn't matter. The American Sheeple are more concerned about the Mark Foley nonsense and are willing to sell out are National Security to the same party that allowed NK to have nuclear technology in the first place.

Thank you, Jimmy Carter and Madelne Albright.

[silentknight]

Why? Iran wants an end. They don't care if Israel can nuke them back. You miss the whole point if you believe that. We are not dealing with sane people here.

[Lurker]

Korea is GMT plus 9 hours and so is Japan. That means the data from the time in question doesn't appear to be available on that website just yet.

Am I correct?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I know that,, and also will Billy Bobs help,,
Do you think ? this will help the Republicans to remind people what is at stake ?

[pollywog]

FOX reporting that there is a report of some siesmic activity!!! God Help us!!!

[nopardons]

Are YOU a kid? Is that why you are so worried about "what kind of world all kids going to inherit"?

Oh yeah, bomb N.Korea to bits and then nuke Iran...so why stop there? How about we nuke Mecca, Afghanistan, Russia, the Balkans, China, and most Africa? /s

[silentknight]

USGS now says that there was some seismic activity...

USGS announces they will have official word in 30 minutes.

USGS misspoke early on...

[silentknight]

Give it up nopardons...some of us don't want a world like this. Some of us CARE about the future of our children.

[RinaseaofDs]

Fox just now reporting that USGS is detecting seismic activity out of NK right now, which is odd.

Still, no one confirming that the test has actually occurred.

[tdewey10]

USGS should have been checking freerepublic where seismographs were posted on this thread.
