- Story Text: South Korea's military condemned North Korea on Sunday (September 3) after it conducted its sixth nuclear test and vowed a strong response.
North Korea said its latest test was a successful detonation of an advanced hydrogen bomb, in a dramatic escalation of the isolated state's stand-off with the United States and its allies.
Japanese and South Korean officials said it was around 10 times more powerful than the tremor picked up after its last test a year ago.
There was no independent confirmation that the detonation was a hydrogen bomb rather than an atomic device. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
