It is possible to make a lower yield device.
Davy Crockett (nuclear device)
"..The M-388 round used a version of the W54 warhead, a very small sub-kiloton fission device. The Mk-54 weighed about 51 lb (23 kg), with a selectable yield of 10 or 20 tons (very close to the minimum practical size and yield for a fission warhead). The complete round weighed 76 lb (34.5 kg). It was 31 in. (78.7 cm) long with a diameter of 11 in. (28 cm) at its widest point; a subcaliber piston at the back of the shell was actually inserted into the launcher's barrel for firing.."

That's a fairly advanced weapon.

Maybe we should secretly lob (or drop) a Davy Crockett onto their test sight. Then we could tell the world that the Koreans indeed had a nuclear blast. We could also blame them for the mess of fallout produced. Finally, we would send NK a clear message concerning future tests.
