North Korea Claims To Have Successfully Tested Hydrogen Bomb



North Korea Claims To Have Successfully Tested Hydrogen Bomb


Earthquake Detected Near North Korea's Nuclear Test Site

The US Geological Survey has noted seismic activity—a magnitude 5.1 earthquake—near a known North Korean nuclear test center. The last time this happened, it was thanks to the underground detonation of a nuclear device.

North Korea has yet to issue a statement on the event, so for the time being, the USGS report is all there is to go on: a magnitude 5.1 earthquake was logged 12 miles northeast of Sungjibaegam at about 8:30 p.m. ET.

In 2013, the USGS recorded another 5.1 earthquake in the same place. That turned out to be caused by an underground nuclear test, so it’s not much of a leap to assume the same trigger for today’s event.


Wild Thing's comment...............

Obama is fine if the nation's enemies have the Bomb. He just doesn't want our citizens and allies to be armed.
