This weekend North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test, they claimed that it was a Hydrogen bomb Although it hasn’t been confirmed that the test was a hydrogen bomb, the reports are this weapon has significantly more power than previous tests.
Making the test more concerning was the statement released by the state-run KCNA news service and not receiving much coverage in the MSM, “The H-bomb, the explosive power of which is adjustable from tens kiloton to hundreds kiloton, is a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated even at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP attack(electromagnetic pulse) according to strategic goals.”
Much easier than spending a nuclear weapon to make a direct hit on the U.S. mainland, for an EMP attack all North Korea has to do is launch a low-yield nuclear missile from a submarine, ship, or by one of the ballistic missiles,
