North Korea on Sunday said it had tested a hydrogen bomb and has mastered the techniques and ways to miniaturise them and mount them on missiles.
The test which Pyongyang declared a "Perfect success" was confirmed by South Korea and the United States. U.S monitors measured a 6.3 magnitude tremor near the North's main testing site and South Korean experts said this latest test is more than ten times stronger than the 5-Kiloton test carried out a year ago.
Thermonuclear bombs/Hydrogen bombs (H-Bombs) are far more powerful than normal atomic weapons that the regime has been testing so far and they form the bulk of the nuclear arsenal of nuclear armed states.
Before the test, Pyongyang released images of their leader Kim Jong-Un at the Nuclear Weapons Institute, inspecting what seems to be a miniaturised H-bomb that could be fitted onto a ballistic missile.
China has publicly condemn the test and Japan, South Korea and US are already planning on ways to respond to the test.
