As of January 6, North Korea has claimed – for the now fourth time since 2006 – to have tested a hydrogen bomb<\/span>. Governments around the world are stirring up, begging the question of, \u201cDid \u00a0it actually happen?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis test is a measure for self-defense the D.P.R.K. (<\/span>Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)<\/span> has taken to firmly protect the sovereignty of the country and the vital right of the nation from the ever-growing nuclear threat and blackmail by the U.S.-led hostile forces and to reliably safeguard the peace on the Korean Peninsula and regional security,\u201d a North Korean official claimed. This is the first test of the hydrogen bomb they have announced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet the White House as well as South Korea don’t believe the North Koreans have developed a hydrogen bond- or at least a functioning one. The White House claims that the initial data from its monitoring stations in Asia were \u201cnot consistent\u201d with a test of a hydrogen bomb. Information and data gathered by South Korea estimated that the bomb detonated on Wednesday was a magnitude 4.8 event.<\/span><\/p>\n

With experts skeptical, both the U.S. and South Korea continue to consider North Korea a minimal threat. Many analysts believe that North Korea is again seeking aid and other concessions, while some suggest that it merely wants to be recognized as a nuclear state, like Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n

President of South Korea, Park Geun-Hye, responded to these attacks promising that if the North mounted a nuclear attack, its government would be \u201cerased from the earth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The United States responded with a display of military might on the Korean Peninsula. A U.S. B-52 bomber jet flew over Osan, South Korea, on Sunday “in response to a recent nuclear test by North Korea,\u201d said the United States Pacific Command.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
