South Korea preparing for the worst

Lets say NK does end up successful with a nuke project and they fire onto SK. Does that put us into a world war if China sides with NK in all of this?

For fun, I looked on Google Earth to see if I could locate the blast zones which they say were tested just north west of Punggye-ri. This has been going on since 2013, so Google should have picked it up by now. No matter where I looked, I couldn't find any scorched earth marks. Instead, I'm seeing lots of small towns and populated areas among dense forests. You should at least see some forests that got wiped out right?

Their tests have been underground.
They're also pretty small, +/-10kt. Half the size of Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki.
Interesting tool

In addition to all of which, they are already, repeatedly over the past few years, in violation of the armistice that we used as an excuse to get out of the Korean war. technically we're at war already except nobody is shooting.
