The earthquake measured 2.9 on the Richter scale and comes after a 6.1-magnitude magnitude quake last month, which Pyongyang claims was the result of hydrogen bomb test.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows the quake was detected just five kilometres from Sungjibaegam, a town close to the Punggye-ri nuclear test site and added that it cannot confirm whether the earthquake was natural or man-made.
A statement on the US Geological Survey website reads: “This event occurred in the area of the previous North Korean Nuclear tests.
“The event has earthquake-like characteristics, however, we cannot conclusively confirm at this time the nature (natural or human-made) of the event.”
September’s nuclear test was so strong that it shook buildings in Russia and China and was described as a “perfect success” by North Korea’s state-run media.
