US officially confirmed it was a nuclear test, just smaller than what NK hoped for, but that doesn't make it any less significant.

NK gave China a 20 min warning and China also warned the US shortly thereafter.

Only IF true, then we've just confirmed a North Korean act of war.

The Korean War Armistace forbids nuclear weapons on the entire Korean Peninsula.

Violating the Armistace returns us to a shooting war, effectively.
