A UN agency tasked with looking for signs of nuclear explosions says its monitoring stations have detected radioactive gases that could be linked to North Korea's February 12 test.
CTBTO says stations in Japan and Russia have picked up "significant" traces of noble gases that accompany a nuclear explosion and say they "could be attributed" to North Korea's test.
Vienna-based CTBTO said the Japanese station is located around 1,000 kilometers from the test site. It says lower levels were picked up by the Russian site at Ussuriysk.
