Tunnel collapsed at North Korean nuclear test site, two hundred reportedly killed.

 

After North Korea’s most powerful ever underground nuclear test last September at Punggye-ri in the country’s northeast, Japan’s TV Asahi reports that up to 200 were killed by a tunnel collapse.

While obtaining direct confirmation from the so-called Hermit Kingdom that is contemporary North Korea, TV Asahi has reported roughly one hundred people died when the tunnel collapsed in the wake of the nuclear explosion and then a similar number died afterwards while endeavoring to reenter the tunnel.

 

No word, however, as to how many – if any – important nuclear experts may have been killed.

Before and after satellite imagery indicate massive damage was inflicted at the test site from the explosion, if not also problematically catastrophic damage. 

 

Specifically, if the test site has been compromised, hazardous radioactive material could spread across the region, including an adjacent part of Communist China.
