Hi Marchal, These earthquake are very small in magnitude, may be the depth estimate is suspect. I remember that it was difficult to determine the nature of the North Korean so called atomic bomb test. There was also an article in the Scientific American a while ago about the detection of under ground nuclear explosions and apparently a false alarm was created by a mine collapsing. Unfortunately the urban noise at my site is too high to distinguish these latest English channel events.
