A new study warns that North Korea's nuclear weapons tests have caused more than 1,000 earthquakes around the country's test site. Researchers link the seismic activity to underground detonations, raising concerns about structural damage, possible leaks of radioactive material, and the stability of the Punggye-ri test area as tremors continue even after testing paused.
