The claim
地震は人工的な兵器？専門家が人工地震説を解説【
Original review summary
The review explains that artificial seismic sources are used for underground surveys, but says generating a disaster-scale earthquake as a weapon is not realistic. It also describes the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji earthquake as resulting from active-fault movement, rather than an artificial weapon. [S1][S1]
Additional context
The review notes that artificially generated seismic waves do exist and are used in underground-structure surveys. [S1] [S1]
