North Korea successfully Test The hydrogen Bomb On challenging
Story Highlights
- North Korea says it has conducted a successful underground hydrogen bomb test, a first for the nation
- A hydrogen bomb is more powerful than plutonium weapons, which is what North Korea used in its past nuclear tests
- Countries in the region issue strong condemnations and hold emergency meeting
Hong Kong (CNN) North Korea says it has transferred successfully tested the hydrogen bomb, which if confirmed would be the first of its kind in the isolated and advanced system large military ambitions.
The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful of weapons plutonium, which is used in North Korea's three previous nuclear tests under the earth.
The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful of weapons plutonium, which is used in North Korea's three previous nuclear tests under the earth.
"If there was no invasion of our sovereignty will not use nuclear weapons," the news agency said North Korean. "This test H- bomb brings us to a higher level of nuclear energy."
A senior official in the US administration CNN said it could take several days to get the scientific data to determine whether this was a successful test. South Korea said it found it difficult to believe North Korea has tested the hydrogen bomb, but held an emergency meeting in a hurry.
United Nations Security Council will also hold a meeting later on Wednesday, at the request of the United States and Japan.
Powerful weapon
The system said in a televised statement that the test took place at 10:00 Local time.
The Geological Survey in the United States this seismic event, which measured magnitude 5.1, Occurred 19 kilometers (12 miles) northeast of Sungjibaegam's.
A document signed by the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, is seen in footage broadcast on state television of North Korea, as follows: "To make the world to search for our party nuclear state and strong work by opening the year with (the) noise exciting of the first hydrogen bomb! "
In the past, North Korea has conducted the experience of fission weapons, which break down large atoms such as plutonium, into smaller atoms, creating a great deal of energy.
Fusion weapons, such as hydrogen bombs, the use of fusion in combining small atoms - such as hydrogen - to create a much larger amounts of energy.
Nuclear weapons on the basis of fission - such as the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 - is usually a yield of about 10-15 kilotons, while the use of nuclear weapons that fusion can be measured in megatons her return.
A big'if'
Said Mike Chinoy, with the Institute of the United States and China at the University of Southern California and the North Koreans expressed for some time the test was a possibility.
"Kim Jong-un making a public statement a few weeks ago saying that (the country) the development of the hydrogen bomb."
But, he said Bruce Bennett, North Korea's claims must be taken with a grain of salt. Bennett, a senior defense analyst at the non-profit, non-partisan Rand Corp.
"It seems that North Korea has been a tough time mastering even the basics of fission weapon," he said. "This suggests that unless North Korea has had the help of outside experts, it is unlikely that they actually made the hydrogen bomb/ fusion since the last nuclear test, a little less than three years ago."
The continuing challenge
It describes the evolution of the continuing challenge North Korea poses to its neighbors and the world.
"We have consistently made clear that we will not accept them as a nuclear state," said a spokesman for the National Security Council. "We will continue to protect and defend our allies in the region, including the Republic of Korea, and will respond appropriately to any and all North Korean provocations."
Said Jasper Kim with conflict management center at Ewha Womans University in Seoul test is to try to draw attention to North Korea in the international arena.
"What Kim Jong-un he wants a conversation with the American president," he said. "That is why the test of what is happening now, and this is why the stakes are very high."

It occurred while Barack Obama was president of the United States - three of four from the nuclear tests of North Korea - in 2009, 2013 and even now.
While the Obama administration has had success in reducing Iran's nuclear ambitions to a certain extent, it has been unable to achieve any progress with North Korea.
"The United States put on the spot," said Shinui this test.
"Do any of the steps to do anything to rein in North Korea? My guess is probably not."
A sticking point
For years, the world has been trying to bring North Korea back to the negotiating table for disarmament talks, but with little success. Consisting of the six-party talks, the United States and North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan and Russia.
Instead of progress may come penalties, not just the nuclear tests of North Korea but also in reaction to the alleged human rights violations.
It included recent decisions of the United Nations arms embargo and non-proliferation to ban luxury good, and a freeze on financial assets abroad and travel bans.
But it seems that these have had little effect on the ambitions of Pyongyang impact.
"If detonated a nuclear bomb... And confirms the very real threat that North Korea represents regional and international security," said British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond.
Ministry spokesman, said of the China Foreign Affairs: "China firmly opposes test H- bomb North Korea, and we of course will require high -level officials and Ambassador (serious discussion)."
South Korea said also that the fourth test will be a watershed moment that will ensure response.
"It is clear that this provocation and threatening people's lives and safety," South Korean President Park Geun-Hye said.
"We have constantly been warned that North Korea will pay a price for a nuclear test."
Very country arms
Measure progress in the nuclear weapons program of North Korea is serious business. Rain Kim's regime generally its efforts in secrecy and sometimes trumpets claims of progress by means of propaganda, and leave the rest of the world to try to connect the dots.
Internationally isolated regime of North Korea is a military state dramatically with a huge standing army of 1.2 Million active troops and 7.7 Million reservists.
But her dated conventional weapons, with limited effectiveness, has started to develop its nuclear capabilities to review the international strength.
The country announced it had nuclear weapons in 2003, and conducted nuclear tests in 2006.2009 And 2013
The company said in May last year that have the ability to miniaturize nuclear weapons, a development that would allow for the deployment of nuclear weapons on missiles. Lord, spokesman for US National Security Council at the time that the United States does not believe the North Koreans this ability.
Said David Albright, former weapons inspector for the United Nations CNN last year that Pyongyang could already have 10-15 nuclear weapons, and that they can grow that amount by the number of weapons each year.
He said he believed that Pyongyang has the ability to miniaturize warheads for missiles shorter, but not yet for ballistic missiles intercontinental capable of reaching the United States.
