Would it be possible to trigger an earthquake by undersea drilling in a heterogenous or diffuse fault zone?

Asking for a reason.

Azores, not Azov, not Arctic. This place is closer to New York than the Russian Arctic. No sea ice. No drilling (which would be easy to detect).

Yes, Azores. Submarines are not limited to operating in war zones. Sea ice is not required for drilling, it happens on the ocean floor.

There was a Russian navy submarine in the Sea of Japan right before the recent earthquake. Maybe it is something to look into.
