North Korea has developed a hydrogen bomb
North Korea says it has developed a more advanced nuclear weapon. Kim Jong Un inspected the hydrogen bomb, which can be carried on an intercontinental ballistic missile.
‘North Korea claims that this hydrogen bomb, which has "massive destructive power," can be attached to an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Various international media outlets reported this news on Sunday morning, citing North Korea's state media, the Korean Central News Agency.

However, Al Jazeera and the BBC reported that North Korea's claim could not be confirmed by any independent source.
Meanwhile, North Korea claims to have advanced technology, but experts are skeptical. The country's announcement of a hydrogen bomb on Sunday has already caused panic on the Korean peninsula and in Washington, as the country is believed to be getting closer to its goal of nuclear weapons.
Kim inspected the bomb and gave some instructions to those concerned. At that time, he said, this bomb has massive destructive power. It has been made with 100 percent domestically made materials and its own technology.
Meanwhile, the country is developing nuclear weapons despite US sanctions and international pressure. It has already successfully tested a missile capable of hitting the United States.
Since Kim Jong Un came to power, the country has moved further towards nuclear weapons. Washington and Pyongyang are busy with regular threats. Recently, Kim conducted several intercontinental missile tests and announced a missile attack on the US base in the Pacific, Guam. This has led to intense tension in the Korean region.
