If he is the experts will know by the seismic signature of the event.  Natural events apparently look quite different from man made ones....

Btw...  "10 km" depth is the default depth used by USGS before the actual depth is calculated.

Putin has been doing other weapons testing recently. 

Putin and Trump will be attending the APEC Vietnam meeting which begins Nov 11, shortly after the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution [Nov 7.]

Supposedly, you also have a sunken Soviet submarine that had nuclear weapons, maybe that was posted in one of the sections here as well as a number of places over there that may have radioactive materials left over from the cold war.

The Kursk submarine was sunk in the Barents Sea during a Russian military exercise.
Many thought it had been sunk due to a collision with the USS Memphis that was in
the area spying on the Russian drill.

That did happen under Project Azorian on the submarine K-129. The CIA tried to lift the boat up with the Glomar Explorer. It was financed by Howard Hughes.

"Azorian" was the code name for a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency project to recover the sunken Soviet submarine K-129 from the Pacific Ocean floor in the summer of 1974, using the purpose-built ship Hughes Glomar Explorer. The 1968 sinking of the K-129 occurred approximately 1,560 nautical miles northwest of Hawaii. Project Azorian was one of the most complex, expensive, and secretive intelligence operations of the Cold War at a cost of about $800 million.
In addition to designing the high tech recovery ship and its unique lifting cradle, the U.S. used concepts developed with Global Marine that utilized their precision stability equipment to keep the ship nearly stationary above the target.
