Russia Russia: New Centre for geophysical monitoring to detect nuclear explosions
Moscow/UNI/Sputnik: The 12th Chief Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry on Monday announced the launch of a specialized center for geophysical monitoring, whose main task is to monitor and register nuclear explosions globally.
"From July 1, in order to strengthen the defense capability of our country, the Main Center for Geophysical Monitoring began to carry out round-the-clock duty," the directorate said in a statement.

Its most important tasks are the registration of nuclear explosions in various Earth geospheres and the identification of sources of man-made geophysical disturbances.

A service for early detection of nuclear tests is already functioning under the Chief Directorate.
