Key points

  • North Korea's underground tests triggered long-lasting seismic activity near Mount Mantap.
  • Study found two parallel fault zones extending toward the China-North Korea border.
  • Fault lines lead to Changbai Mountain, a dormant volcano with historic AD946 eruption.
  • Researchers say explosions altered local stress fields and weakened crust, aiding reactivation.
  • No direct evidence yet that nuclear tests changed Mount Paektu's volcanic activity.
