A 5.1 magnitude tremor was detected close to North Korea’s nuclear test site on Wednesday, triggering concerns that Pyongyang had conducted a fresh atomic explosion.

The US Geological Survey said the epicentre of the quake was in the northeast of the country, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) northwest of Kilju city, placing it right next to the Punggye-ri nuclear test site.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea says it has conducted a hydrogen bomb test. The surprise announcement that complicates already difficult efforts to curb the country’s push for a working nuclear arsenal.

The North said Wednesday in a broadcast that the test was successful. A hydrogen bomb is generally more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

North Korea has long pushed for an arsenal of warheads that can be mounted on a missile capable of reaching mainland America’s shores.

The Kelly Kiloton scale says 5.1 = 45 kilotons of explosives.

Norks now claiming it was a Hydrogen Bomb.

Per Yonhap.

Yes...

Apparently Lil Kim bought his H-Bomb at a gun show. /sarc

If they stored medical supplies for several years under the bunker at the White House. That is very telling that Obama is not moving out.

A television anchor read a typically propaganda-heavy statement on state TV that said North Korea had tested a ....”miniaturized” hydrogen bomb,..... elevating the country’s “nuclear might to the next level” and providing it with a weapon to defend against the United States and its other enemies.....The statement said the test was a “perfect success.”

Fan boys of Putin are trying to downplay the event.

Very interesting facility shown in the video! Thanks again.

this is possible because N Korea is probably working with rogue Pakistani scientists, as is Iran

Why older women lust at link - nice explanation of the NK Thermo testing ...

Call me crazy, but

[Night Hides Not]

I’m betting that North Korea just started fracking. Earthquakes in Texas and Oklahoma are being blamed on fracking.

[austingirl]

Iran/Saudi conflict, China economy (and ours) faltering, North Korea actively belligerent, ME military age men coming over our southern porous border, and Zero, leader of the free world, cries at his gun grab press conference.

God help us.

The device used to make that quake could activate Yellow Stone’s Caldera.
