North Korea Claims Success In Fifth Nuclear Test by espionage48(m): 7:22am On Sep 09, 2016 |
North Korea says it has successfully carried out its fifth nuclear test. The announcement on state media came hours after a seismic event was detected near its nuclear test site. South Korea believes it is the North's biggest ever test, raising fears the state has made real nuclear advances. South Korean President Park Geun-hye called it an act of "self-destruction" showing the "maniacal recklessness" of leader Kim Jong-un. The US warned of "serious consequences". China's foreign ministry said Beijing was resolutely opposed to the test and urged North Korea to avoid further action that would worsen the situation. The North said the test had been of a "newly developed nuclear warhead" and that it was now capable of mounting a nuclear device on ballistic rockets. South Korea's military has suggested that the explosive yield of this blast could be almost twice that of the previous nuclear test. Analysts have expressed fears this could mean the North is a step closer to having a useable nuclear weapon. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37314927North Korea says it has successfully carried out its fifth nuclear test.
