S Korea Pledge Response

 

United States, South Korea and Japan said they will be united in response to a claim North Korea has successfully tested the hydrogen bomb.

North Korea has said it carried out the test on Wednesday - if confirmed it would be the fourth nuclear test, and her first of the most powerful hydrogen bomb.

The UN Security Council also agreed to start the development of new measures against North Korea.

But doubts about whether he was still the North really did perform such a test.

Experts said the seismic activity generated by the blast is not large enough to be a full thermal nuclear explosion.

The White House said that US President Barack Obama spoke separately to South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The company said in a statement it had "agreed to work together to reach a unified and strong for the latest reckless behavior of North Korea international response."

And Abe told reporters: "We agreed that the provocative act by North Korea is unacceptable ... We will deal with this situation resolute manner through cooperation with the United Nations Security Council."

He added that Japan may take action unilaterally, saying it "is considering taking action unique of its kind for our nation."

He said the presidential office in South Korea in a statement that Ms. Park and Obama agreed to closely cooperate and that the international community "must make sure that North Korea pays the other hand, the price of" nuclear test, according to Yonhap news agency.

Security Council held a UN emergency session on Wednesday condemned the test claim as "a clear threat to international peace and security."

"Will be put authority and credibility of the Security Council on the issue if they do not take these actions." Japan's UN ambassador, Motohide Yoshikawa, and called for a new resolution from the United Nations quickly and strongly, insisting

But the United Nations ambassador to Russia, which has been developed warmer ties with Pyongyang, said he would go "too far" to say Moscow supports further sanctions.

 

North Korea could now launch a nuclear missile?

Although North Korea's claims, experts are skeptical that North Korea can make a nuclear weapon small enough to fit on a missile.

What do we know about the latest test?

Agree Observers nuclear explosion of the type of place took, and it seems to have been a bit larger than the last test in 2013, but not nearly large enough to be heat full - a nuclear explosion, a "H- bomb" - as claimed by Pyongyang.

Why can not the world that North Korea stop?

North Korea has determined to challenge all of the world public opinion and heavy penalties to reach a nuclear target. Crucially, its main ally, China, has proved either unwilling or unable to help.

At the same time, South Korea, which limit the entry of the Kaesong industrial zone in North Korea, which participates in the management of both countries began. She said the South Korean Unification Ministry only those directly involved in the operations will allow there to enter from the south.

Seoul also said it will re-broadcast cross-border propaganda operation on Friday, an act that North strongly opposed. Stopped broadcasting last year as part of a deal with North Korea to ease tensions have escalated sharply this summer.

The nuclear test days before the feast of Kim Jong-un 33, which falls on Friday, it is expected to be marked by celebrations.

"The blast could have been greater."

Hydrogen bombs more powerful and technologically advanced of nuclear weapons, using fusion - fusion atoms - to release huge amounts of energy.

Atomic bombs, such as those that destroyed two Japanese cities in World War II, and the use of fission or splitting atoms.

The Bruce Bennett, an analyst at the Rand Corporation, among those casting doubts about Pyongyang test: "The blast should have got was 10 times what you're claiming."

Intelligence Agency and South Korean politicians also that the discretionary power of the blast fell much less than what would be expected of the hydrogen bomb.

Said White House spokesman Josh Earnest "was the initial analysis does not agree with North Korea's claims of a successful test of the hydrogen bomb." But he added: "We have caused something that happened in the past 24 hours the US government to change our assessment of the technical and military capabilities of North Korea."

Some analysts have suggested that it is possible Pyongyang tested a "reinforced" the atomic bomb, which uses some of the fusion fuel to increase the yield of the fission reaction.

It is believed that the United States and neighboring countries to sampling is performed in the atmosphere, hoping to find radioactive material leaked, which would give clues as to what kind of device was tested.
