There has been no official word from North Korea or China about what happened in the North Korean city of Hyesan on Monday. Many Chinese border towns are very close to North Korea, separated only by the river border. Other videos of the reported explosions have been circulating on Chinese and South Korean social media. Other South Korean media carried similar reports. North Korean state media, which rarely acknowledge deadly accidents in the country, haven't commented on the reported explosions.
