This is interesting and seems to have sort of flown under the radar:

A 2.1-magnitude earthquake in North Korea’s mining town of Pyonggang at around noon on Thursday (March 7) is believed to have been man-made, with the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) indicating that the tremor was the result of an explosion.

“The epicentre is measured to be near the land surface,” a KMA official said.

The quake comes two days after South Korea’s spy agency said that North Korea was rebuilding part of a dismantled long-range missile test site in Sohae, reported The Korea Times.

It comes shortly after a summit between United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended without an agreement over differences on the extent of denuclearisation by Pyongyang.

Granted, it could’ve been an explosion in a mine……after all, industrial accidents happen everywhere in the world, and North Korea would be no exception.

But…….it does seem to be, shall we say, an odd coincidence.
