Update on reported blast in South China Sea

Russia Has No Reliable Info 

on Nuke Blast in South China 

Sea, But Trying to Check 

Claims – Official

The Hal Turner Radio Show from the US has reported, citing unnamed military sources, that a 10-20-kiloton undersea explosion took place in the South China Sea on 20 November. No government agencies have commented on this information so far.

Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin has stated that Moscow doesn't have reliable information about an alleged underwater nuclear blast in the South China Sea. He added that Russia is currently trying to verify these reports through various sources.

The US-based Hal Turner Radio Show previously reported that oceanographic instruments detected an explosion in the South China Sea at a depth of 50 metres and with a power of between 10 and 20 Kilotons. This is roughly equal to the bombs that the US dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War. The radio programme, which cited unnamed military sources, said that an earthquake had "been ruled out".

The media outlet also reported, citing the uRADMonitor Global Environmental Monitoring Network, that there were "significant radiation readings" on Chinese shores near the spot where the explosion allegedly happened. At the same time, Japanese newspaper Ryukyu Simpo has reported that the measurements, conducted by the Chinese military, showed no spike in radiation readings.

The Hal Turner Radio Show alleged that China could have detonated a small-yield nuke underwater to blind any US submarines possibly present in the South China Sea, as well as to send Washington a message over its actions in the region.

So far no government agencies have been able to confirm the reports that an explosion took place in the region.

Some unreliable sources claim that a 15 kiloton nuclear explosion happened somewhere in the South China Sea at 23:22 UTC on November 20, 2019.

Unreliable sources

• There has been "An Incident" in the South China Sea -- UPDATE 11:17 PM EST: RADIATION DETECTED!!!! - Hal Turner Radio Show, November 20, 2019
  Oceanographic instruments monitoring the South China Sea have reportedly registered a significant undersea EXPLOSION.
  Details are sketchy as of 6:22 PM eastern US time, but military sources are saying an explosion took place at a depth of approximately 50 Meters, which caused an underwater shock wave of such sudden presence, and of such strength, that the explosion itself "had to be between 10 and 20 Kilotons." Those sources (military) also say explicitly "An earthquake has been ruled out."
