NORTH
KOREA TESTING THE BOMBS North Korea May Blow Up Hydrogen Bomb in
Pacific
North
Korean Foreign Minister hinted that the country's leader might be
mulling a hydrogen bomb test.

MOSCOW
(Sputnik) — North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho has
suggested that the nation’s leader might be mulling a hydrogen
bomb test in the
Pacific after their row with the United States escalated
this week.
"It
could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the
Pacific," Ri told reporters as quoted by the South
Korean state news agency Yonhap.
The
North’s top diplomat added he had no idea what Kim Jong Un’s
exact plans were, after he warned the United States of a
"high level" countermeasure, in response to the
US president’s recent threats.
President Donald
Trump on Wednesday
called Kim a "rocket man" on a "suicide mission,"
in his first major speech at UN, and said Pyongyang faced a
total destruction if it attacked the United States or its allies.
The
North Korean leader in response to Donald Trump's speech
accused US President of exhibiting a "mentally deranged
behavior" and threatened him with a "highest level
of hard-line countermeasure in history".
BREAKING - KIM JUNG UN TO DETONATE H-BOMB IN PACIFIC OCEAN ?
RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP UN SPEECH
North Korea foreign minister says may detonate nuclear bomb in Pacific
North
Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs Ri Yong Ho said that his country
may consider a test of a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean.
Ri
said the potential test of "the most powerful detonation of an
H-bomb" would be one possible "highest-level" action
against the U.S.
He
added that he didn't know what actions would be ordered by Kim
Jong-un.
Ri's
threat is significant because such a detonation would move North
Korea's nuclear weapons activities beyond its borders for the first
time. Japan, for example, lies between North Korea and the Pacific
Ocean.
The
communist dictatorship's previous nuclear tests have taken place in
its isolated mountains.
Hydrogen
bombs are more powerful by an order of magnitude than the atomic
bombs that North Korea tested in previous years. The country claims
that an atomic test it carried out early this month was an H-bomb.
Ri
is in New York attending the United Nations General Assembly.
