Almost 200 people were confirmed by North Korea dead after an underground nuclear site collapsed.
According to the Yonhap news agency in South Korea, the tunnel collapsed near a nuclear test site in North-east of the DPRK.
The Dailymail reported that the collapse happened on October 10 during construction of an underground tunnel at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site but this was just revealed by Pyongyang amid worries of wider repercussions.
The collapse has caused wild fear of Chernobyl-style disaster from radioactive leak into the atmosphere.
About 100 people died due to the collapse of the tunnel and many more died during the rescue operations to get those trapped out the Yonhap agency reported.
The Tunnel collapse is suspected to be as a result of the weakening of the environment where Pyongyang carried out its last nuclear test.
