SEOUL: North Korea appears to have cut international telephone lines to the area to prevent information about the explosion getting out. The North appears to have declared a type of emergency in the area.

Yonhap also quoted a senior Defence Ministry official as saying the South Korea's military - which eavesdrops on North Korea - had heard about the blast through "intelligence channels directed against the North".

There was no immediate suggestion the blast was anything other than an accident. But the explosion came after Kim met China's new leadership during a rare foreign visit to discuss the North's nuclear weapons plans and tentative economic reforms.

A railway worker on the Chinese side of the Dandong border crossing told Reuters he had not heard of a blast and had seen
no signs of any emergency effort under way.

"The closest station to here in North Korea is in Sinuiju (on the border), and I would have heard it. But I didn't hear
anything," he said by telephone.

North Korea's official media broke their silence on Kim's three-day trip to Beijing on Thursday - strongly suggesting Kim was safely back in Pyongyang - but did not mention the explosion. Kim does not travel by air when he does venture outside North Korea.

Residents in Pyongyang said by telephone there was nothing unusual in the capital. North Korean television was broadcasting military songs and music - standard evening fare.
