The claim
青森の地震は人工地震?
Original review summary
The review says claims that the December 8, 2025 Aomori earthquake was artificially caused are false. It cites a seismology professor who says causing a disaster-scale earthquake artificially is unrealistic, given the explosive yield and depth involved.[S1]
Additional context
The review notes that artificial seismic sources are used for underground surveys, but distinguishes those controlled sources from claims of artificially triggering a major earthquake. [S1]
