An artificial 6.3 magnitude earthquake near North Korea has been detected by Japanese scientists, reportedly confirming Pyongyang’s assertions that it has conducted a successful test of a hydrogen bomb capable of reaching the United States mainland.
According to reports by CNN, U. S. National Security Advisor Herbert McMaster has been in emergency deliberations with South Korea’s chief security advisor to discuss the possible repercussions of North Korea’s sixth nuclear test.
Washington is yet to make a statement in response to Pyongyang’s claims.
At exactly noon PYT, as expected, the U. S. Geological Survey detected a 6.3 magnitude earthquake close to North Korea’s northeastern region. The explosion at Punggye-Ri, North Korea’s favored missile testing site, was confirmed by Japan’s Foreign Ministry.
According to Japanese authorities, the recordings are evidence of the actual veracity of Kim Jong Un’s announcement that a hydrogen bomb with “great destructive power” and capable of reaching American shores had been successfully detonated.
Following an analysis of the geological data, experts have confirmed that North Korea’s hydrogen bomb is a “city buster, ” as reported by the Washington Post .
