In the article they talk about the damage that the sixth nuclear test has done to their own country. By satellite three analysts were able to see a slight difference between the before and after photos. It’s noticeable that those differences are because of the latest launch.

The analysts spotted many landslides and wide disturbances in Mount Mantap (Mantapsan), a peak in were the tunnels for the nuclear blasts are inside. This information is based on the satellite images taken the day after the detonation, making it easy to recognize where’s the nuclear test site.

In addiction, the article also points out the latest detonation power by comparing it to the launch they did a year before, and also to the dropped bomb in Hiroshima. By the way these information is given you can tell that if the test turns to be directed to a specific country or territory it’s going to be one of the most destructive events if it’s not the most.

Following my point of view and also being totally out of the field I can firmly state that those North Korea’s military advances are going to be also painful for their own country, starting for the fact that the testing is turning to be prejudicial for their own land causing surface craters.
