North Korea Conducts Its Most Powerful Nuclear Test To Date

North Korea carried out its most powerful nuclear test yet on Sunday, claiming it detonated a hydrogen bomb designed to be loaded onto an intercontinental ballistic missile. North Korean state television described the nuclear test as a perfect success .

Analysts have expressed skepticism about the claims of an H-bomb a device far more powerful than the atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 but the international community expressed grave concern at the apparent advancement in North Koreas nuclear capabilities.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the nuclear test caused a shallow magnitude 6.3 earthquake . A South Korean official told The New York Times this meant the explosion was at least five to six times more powerful than North Koreas previous nuclear test, which took place last September .

..North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success.
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2017

Trump, who previously threatened North Korea with fire and fury, went on to say that South Koreas talk of appeasement is not working. They only understand one thing he said, without elaborating.

South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!

South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2017

Well see, Trump said later on Sunday when a reporter asked the president as he was returning from church if he planned to attack North Korea.

Trump convened a meeting of national security officials at the White House and afterward Defense Secretary warned that any attack on the U.S. or its allies would be met by a massive military response. He said the response would be both effective and overwhelming.

We have many military options he told reporters outside the White House, and Trump was briefed on them.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un should take heed of the United Nations Security Councils unified voice, Mattis said. All members unanimously agreed on the threat North Korea poses, and they remain unanimous in their commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, because we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea. But as I said, we have many options to do so.

Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said on Twitter that she had called for an emergency meeting of the security council on Monday morning.

Trump also tweeted on Sunday that he was considering stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told Fox News on Sunday that he would put together new sanctions against Pyongyang aimed at cutting off all trade.

North Koreas nuclear test comes amid uncertainty surrounding the free trade deal between South Korea and the U.S., which Trump has criticized.

Trump said on Saturday that he would be mulling over the fate of the U.S-Korea Free Trade Agreement in the coming days. Axios reported that the president was seriously considering withdrawing from the deal.

In the immediate aftermath of Sundays nuclear test, Washington conducted emergency calls with allies Japan and South Korea.

U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster spoke with his South Korean counterpart, Chung Eui-yong, for 20 minutes about an hour after the blast , according to the Associated Press.

Seoul has called for the strongest possible response from the international community, including new sanctions to completely isolate its northern neighbor, the BBC reported.

Chinas Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that it resolutely opposes the nuclear test, while the Russian foreign ministry said North Koreas blatant disregard of international law deserved the strongest condemnation .

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron said they intend to tighten European Union sanctions on North Korea, and British Prime Minister Theresa May said the UN Security Council should consider new measures, Reuters reported.

Yukiya Amano, head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, called North Koreas nuclear program a matter of grave concern .

This new test, which follows the two tests last year and is the sixth [by North Korea] since 2006, is in complete disregard of the repeated demands of the international community, said Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
