What would happen if a nuclear weapon exploded underground?

What would happen if something like a nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb had exploded underground? I don’t mean like a couple feet, but maybe a kilometer underground? What effects would the shock wave have? What else would happen? I just found this to be an interesting question, I’ve never heard of something like this ever happening before.

    Yes, it was routinely done. With more modern seismic technology, they are detectable. But early testing was done underground so they wouldn’t be detected.
