South Korea says it appears the North has conducted a sixth nuclear test, after a magnitude-6.3 quake was detected in the area.

South Korean media says the tremor was detected in Kilju County, where North Korea’s nuclear test site is located.

South Korea’s military says North Korea is believed to have conducted its sixth nuclear test.

The shallow, 6.3 magnitude earthquake shook North Korea on Sunday, suggesting it had detonated a sixth nuclear device, hours after it said it had developed an advanced hydrogen bomb that possesses “great destructive power”.

China’s Earthquake Administration said it detected a second quake in North Korea of magnitude 4.6, which it termed as a “collapse”.

The administration’s website said the second quake, measured at a depth of zero kilometres, came eight minutes after the first quake, which it said was a “suspected explosion”.

The co-ordinates of the two quakes were almost identical, according to figures provided by the administration.

The first quake struck 75km north northwest of Kimchaek. Previous recent tremors in the region have been caused by nuclear tests, which if the case this time round, is bound to increase the tension hours after US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe talked by phone about the “escalating” nuclear crisis.

Witnesses in the Chinese city of Yanji, on the border with North Korea, said they felt a tremor that lasted roughly 10 seconds, followed by an aftershock.

The hydrogen bomb report by North Korea’s official KCNA newsagency comes amid heightened regional tension following Pyongyang’s two tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in July that potentially could fly about 10,000km, putting many parts of the mainland US within range.

Under Kim Jong Un, North Korea has been pursuing a nuclear device small and light enough to fit on a long-range ballistic missile, without affecting its range and making it capable of surviving re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.

North Korea, which carries out its nuclear and missile programs in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions and sanctions, “recently succeeded” in making a more advanced hydrogen bomb that will be loaded on to an ICBM, KCNA said.

China records 2nd tremor
 
It’s pretty clear that North Korea (and Iran) are looking to build an EMP bomb they can detonate over North America.

I don’t think they are aiming for detente.

Confirmed

The Japanese government has determined that North Korea has conducted its sixth nuclear test, after 6.3 magnitude earthquake was felt in the region.

The confirmation from Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono followed South Korea’s military saying they believed North Korea had made another test.

“After examining the data we concluded that it was a nuclear test,” Mr Kono said at a briefing broadcast by public broadcaster NHK following a meeting of Japan’s National Security Council.

The tremors were at least 10 times as powerful as the last time Pyongyang exploded an atomic bomb a year ago, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.

Then move there…Nuclear proliferation is a very slippery slope. If NK made nice, they would have no enemies. They bluster and threaten just to support their tin pot dictator.
 
First US/Russia and other countries including my own with nuclear arsenal should be
de nuclearized. Then we can talk about NK tests

The United States had tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, but we didn’t use any of that arsenal. We used our first two. But none of the tens of thousands.

Do you TRUST North Korea???

We had ?? Thirty Thousand? Russia had ??? Forty Thousand???

How many got used?

Do you TRUST North Korea?

They invaded South Korea.

Will they invade South Korea again?

I trust NK more than US which is the only country to use nuclear weapons in a war.
I trust NK more than US which has created political instability in so many nations
I trust NK more than US which has recently signed a 110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia

NK Fat boy is not going to nuke any one unless the Fat Boy in the other hemisphere tweets something really stupid.

Just ignore NK Fat Boy he will do no harm to any one other than his people (as Western media suggests)

You trust NK more than the U.S.

The U.S. was in a declared war when we used our first two.

Half a million U.S. men were killed and many millions more of the enemies.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties

If we had had to perform an opposed landing in Japan, maybe another hundred thousand or more U.S. men would have been killed.

If you trust NK more, then seriously, move to NK.

I do hope the board shifts, before I need to teach history again.
 
Looks like NK has called Trumps bluff.

Maybe in response to this, instead of just chest thumping bluster he can make up funny names to call him on twitter. That teach them to mess with us!

US Defense Secretary James Mattis has joined the president in issuing a stern warning to North Korea to prepare for a “massive military response” if threats continue.

“Any threat to the United States or its territories including Guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response,” he said outside the White House.

Mr Mattis added the US was not looking for “an annihilation” of North Korea, but was considering its “many options”.

North Korea’s biggest nuclear test to date has drawn international condemnation, with US President Donald Trump labelling the move “hostile and dangerous” and his Defence Secretary warning any threat to the US will be met with a “a massive military response”.

So the defence secretary speaks of a massive military response.

Whose move now?

abc.net.au/news/2017-07-06/north-korea-missile-launch-pits-us-against-china-russia/8683034

There’s a saying in politics: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

North Korea’s missile test is indeed a crisis — and a test of Donald Trump’s still-young presidency.

But he is being outmanoeuvred by Russia and China, who have teamed up against the United States to achieve a mutual goal: weakening the US military presence on their doorstep.

Both Russia and China have a land border with North Korea. For China especially, North Korea is a buffer between it and US-friendly South Korea, and more than 20,000 American soldiers who are based there.
