Kim Jong Un Hydrogen Bomb

Kim Jong Un has chalked up a lot of firsts since taking power at the end of 2011: His country's first hydrogen bomb test. Its first launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. And the first crossing of the demilitarized zone by a North Korean leader since the Korean War.

North Korea said on Friday it might test a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean after President Donald Trump vowed to destroy the reclusive country, with leader Kim Jong Un promising to make Trump pay dearly for his threats.

President Trump lashed back Friday at North Korea's leader, calling Kim Jong Un a "madman" whose regime will be "tested like never before" amid new U. S-imposed financial sanctions.

North Korea could consider testing a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean in retaliation to Donald Trump's threats to destroy the country, Pyongyang's Foreign Minister said Friday

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced new financial sanctions targeting North Korea as his administration seeks to build international support for more aggressively confronting the rogue nation, whose escalating nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities have reached what US officials consider a crisis point

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un hosted a massive celebration to congratulate his nuclear scientists and technicians who steered the country's sixth and largest nuclear test a week ago, its official news agency said on Sunday.

President Xi Jinping does not like surprises. That hasn't stopped Kim Jong Un or President Donald Trump. On Sunday, hours before the Chinese president delivered a keynote speech on his country's diplomatic prowess, North Korea tested a nuclear bomb, stealing his spotlight.

The United States on Monday said countries trading with North Korea were aiding its "dangerous nuclear intentions" as the United Nations Security Council mulled tough new sanctions and the isolated regime showed signs of planning more missile tests

North Korea's biggest nuclear test to date was condemned around the world on Sunday, with US President Donald Trump saying "appeasement" would not work as the authorities in Pyongyang "only understand one thing".

The path to Pyongyang's latest nuclear test followed a textbook North Korean strategy: escalating provocations accompanied by furious denunciations of annual South Korea-US military exercises.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un ranks among the world's youngest heads of state, but has some of its most powerful weapons at his disposal.

The test, ordered by Kim Jong Un, was a "perfect success" and confirmed the precision and technology of the hydrogen bomb, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

North Korea appeared to carry out a sixth nuclear test Sunday, possibly of a hydrogen bomb more powerful than any device it has previously detonated, presenting President Donald Trump with an unprecedented challenge.

North Korea has developed a hydrogen bomb which can be loaded into the country's new intercontinental ballistic missile, the official Korean Central News Agency claimed Sunday.

The top North Korean official for US relations told The Associated Press on Friday that his country is now a nuclear threat to be reckoned with, and Washington can expect more nuclear tests and missile launches like the ones earlier this week as long as it attempts to force his government's collapse through a policy of pressure and punishment.
