NORTH Korea has been rocked by two earthquakes, sparking fears of another missile test

The first earthquake struck not far from North Korea's capital of
Pyongyang, where despot Kim Jong-un and his closest allies live.

Measuring 2.6 on the Richter scale, the quake could be an indication of
yet another missile test - despite worldwide condemnation.

The epicentre was to the south-west of the capital - a location not known
to contain any missile testing sites.

A second struck several hours later in the same location, measuring 2.5 on
the scale.

Seoul-based weatherman Kim Sung-han reported the earthquakes on Twitter, stating the first occured at 9.32pm local time (1.32pm BST). The second
occured around five hours later.

Earthquakes are often indications of missile activity in the hermit -
although they do also occur naturally in the region. A 3.1 magnitude quake
took place in March last year, with South Korean official stating it was
not man-made

Today is National Liberation Day in the North, marking the victory over
Japan in World War 2.

Holidays are often used as opportunities for the war-crazed North Korean government to carry out missile tests or send threats to their Western
rivals.

It comes amid a background of white-hot tension on the Korean peninsula,
with Kim repeatedly threatening to attack America.

Last week US president Donald Trump warned North Korea of "fury and fire"
if it did not wind in its rhetoric, a move which was immediately
undermined by yet more threats.

Kim then went so far as to pinpoint the US territory of Guam as a target
for an imminent attack,.

### - yikes! can't see the connection between missiles and earthquakes
myself, but could be indicative of underground nuclear test(s) and/or explosions in nk as we start taking the fucker out...

not good!
