China, Japan and South Korea have all said there are indications the tremor was man-made, meaning the North may have carried out a new nuclear test, the US also have made confirmation on this.

North Korean state media has said that a test of a hydrogen bomb was carried out, ordered by the young leader..... they said that the test was in readiness for the country to defend her sovereignty from the west.

North Korea is thought to have conducted three underground tests since 2006, all at the Punggye-ri site.

The new tremor was detected about 50km (30 miles) from Punggye-ri at a depth of about 10km, according to the US Geological Survey.


After the previous, third nuclear test in 2013, there was widespread condemnation. US President Barack Obama said the test was in defiance of UN resolutions. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting at which its members, including China, "strongly condemned" the test.
If this, fourth test is confirmed as claimed, a similar reaction can be expected.

On top of any fourth nuclear test, North Korea also appears to have tested a submarine-launched missile. The ability to launch missiles from submarines would change the whole calculation of military response because warning times of an attack on, for example, the West Coast of the US would be much shorter.

Before the test, the official North Korean media said that the country "deserved to hold nuclear weapons ..... to counter nuclear threats by the US".

Experts believe it is still some years before North Korea could hit a target with a nuclear bomb delivered by a missile but it is crystal clear that it is absolutely determined to be able to do so...... though that is a big lie.

South Korean ministers are holding an emergency meeting to get ready for any response, so far, the News of the tremor comes ahead of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's birthday on Friday - an event that is usually marked by a show of strength in the country.

The USGS said the quake had a magnitude of 5.1. South Korea's meteorological agency measured it at 4.2.

Japan's chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said that "considering past cases, there is the possibility that this might be a nuclear test by North Korea" but will wait to study the environment to know if radiation appears afterwards.

A US defence department official told Reuters the US was "looking into reports of a possible seismic event near North Korea's nuclear facilities".


North Korea's nuclear tests

9 October 2006

The first test detonated a device based on plutonium, rather than enriched uranium. The test was conducted at Punggye-ri, also known as P'unggye-yok. US intelligence officials said that it had not been a powerful one, measuring less than one kiloton - that is less then a tenth of the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

25 May 2009

A second underground nuclear test was carried out which was said to be more powerful than the first. Russia's defence ministry estimated a blast of up to 20 kilotons, a similar size to the American bombs that completely destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Although the North gave no details of the test location, South Korean officials said a seismic tremor was detected in its neighbour's north-east around the town of Kilju - close to Punggye-ri.

12 February 2013

Unusual seismic activity was detected around Punggye-ri. This was followed by confirmation from the state news agency that North Korea had successfully tested a device. The announcement referenced a "miniaturised" nuclear device which raised fears that Pyongyang's ultimate aim is to produce a device small enough to fit on a long-range missile.

the world should be ready for this game changer for the world.... its a hydrogen bomb

hydrogen bomb
hooooo my God?!!! is he planning to end the world??

Repent now! O ye brainwashed American & Israelis zombies, for the nuclear & hydrogen bombing kingdom of Gog & Magog as prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39 is at hand.

My name is Zoharariel Underscore Obatala, and I stand with Mother Russia, North-Korea, China & Iran against the impunity & conspiracies of the West.

Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein - Be a little more patient, the inevitable brutal retaliation for your injury, loss & humiliation is on course.

This Koreans go dey wicked..
Mean while Nigerians keep using there juju (African Science) to kill and maim people.

[size=13pt] Cause and Effect [/size]

The crust is divided into several pieces known as tectonic plates constantly in motion, grinding past one another at boundaries known as fault

when the pressure built up along a fault becomes stronger than the pressure holding the rocks together. Then the rocks on either side of the fault suddenly rip apart, sometimes at supersonic speeds. The two sides of the fault slide past one another, releasing the pent-up pressure. Energy from this separation radiates outward in all directions, including towards the surface, where it is felt as an earthquake


My point being Hydrogen Bomb is a very powerful bomb , It could increase pressure in the forces holding the earth's crust together , or it may have already ripped it apart , The Energy that accumulates in the overriding plate( from earth quake) will eventually exceed the frictional forces between the two stuck plates. When this happens, the overriding plate snaps back into an unrestrained position. This sudden motion is the cause of the tsunami

China, South Korea, Japan stand the risks for Tsunami this year, just because one fat kid wants to prove he has huge Cojones
