The Washington Post reported that nuclear experts say the explosion did not look like that from a hydrogen bomb. South Korean legislators said the explosion had a yield of about 6 kilotons, nearly the same size as their northern neighbor’s 2013 atomic test.

North Korea expert Andrei Lankov told reporters, “I believe it did not have the ‘signature’ of a hydrogen bomb.” Lankov said he had “absolutely no doubt” the blast was an atomic test. Read more at The Washington Post.

  1. The device was similar to the two North Korea set off previously – and both were fission devices (A-bombs). A 6 kiloton yield is too small to sustain a fusion reaction, so it was impossible for yesterday’s event to have been a fusion device (H-bomb).

    North Korea is just bloviating, as usual. Their claims are hollow.
