Moment tensor inversion is conducted to characterize the source properties of the September 3, M6.3, the September 3, M4.6, and the September 23, M3.4 seismic events occurred in 2017 in the nuclear test site of DPRK. To overcome the difficulties in the comparison, the inversion uses the same stations, the same structural model, the same algorithm, and nearly the same filters in the processing of waveforms. It is shown that the M6.3 event is with predominant explosion component, the M4.6 event is with predominant implosion component, while the M3.4 event is with a predominant double couple component (~74%) and a secondary explosion component (~25%). The three seismic events are with a similar centroid depth. The double couple component of the M3.4 event shows a normal fault striking northeastward.
