A mushroom-shaped cloud was seen in North Korea last Thursday following a large explosion, a South Korean news agency reported Sunday.

The explosion in Kim Hyong Jik county produced a crater large enough to be seen by a satellite, said the Yonhap news agency.

Kim Hyong Jik is reported to hold a major missile base.

The cloud measured 3.5 to 4 kilometres in diameter, an unidentified diplomatic source told Yonhap .

I like what a US official said in a <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiapcf/09/12/nkorea.blast/index.html">CNN article</a> "The U.S. official said the cloud could be the result of a forest fire."

   

Trees have been known to spontaneously combust over a large area, right .. . ?

Hmmm, sounds a bit familiar. When India was experimenting with their new nuclear weapons they told the media that it was a tool not a weapon, a tool to "dig holes and move mountains".
