“Our sensor system did detect an underground disturbance in the vicinity of the North Korea reported nuclear test,” said Susan A. Romano, a spokeswoman for the Air Force Technical Applications Center at Patrick Air Force Base. “That was based on seismic activity. Further analysis most assuredly will be done.”

According to the unit’s fact sheet. “It is the sole organization in the federal government whose mission is to detect and report technical data from foreign nuclear explosions.”
