There have been several reports that the North Koreans have told the Brits
that the recent explosion was deliberate, and was part of creating a new

It would be good for people to find out if there is any suitable water
for a hydroelectric project anywhere near where the explosion was. I
think it is far more likely to be sabotage. North Korea isn't known for
being terribly careful with dangerous things but this is two huge
explosions in a few months, the first of which is known to have blown up
a small town only a short time after the dictator of the country passed
in a train.

They knew well enough what was happening. But even to themselves they
pretended that all was well, for the food was good, they were protected,
they had nothing to fear but the one fear; and that struck here and
there, never enough at a time to drive them away. They forgot the ways
of wild rabbits. They forgot El-ahrairah, for what use had they for
tricks and cunning, living in the enemy's warren and paying his price?"
