The actual North Korean location was marked, with a long, dotted line joining it on the map to NZ.
As is the PNG one, if you click on the red line that shows in the 24-hour graph.

The PNG one has dropped off the "last 24 hours" graph but still shows on the others. Last night's deep quake in the Tonga-Fiji area is still on the 24-hrs list, for the next few hours anyway. :rolleyes:
