This is not a nuclear weapon, and is absolutely tiny compared with the H bombs that the Russians used to test. The H bombs didn't cause Earthquakes on the other side of the world, so this had no effect at all.
You need to bone up on how big the Earth is.
There are several quakes of this size a year. Why is it every time one happens, people have to start trying to find a manmade cause. An Earthquake of this size has the energy equivalent of dozens of nuclear bombs. By your thinking, the Earthquake itself should cause an Earthquake on the other side of the world.
Crikey, we would get a chain reaction of Earthquakes that would never stop.
