A day after Russian President Vladimir warned that the US and North Korea are “balancing on the verge of a large-scale conflict,” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is doing everything in his power to validate Putin’s words.
To wit, in a segment broadcasted Saturday by the Korean Central Broadcasting Network, the North’s state-run television-news network, the regime claimed that it has “succeeded in making a more developed”
hydrogen bomb. In the broadcast, Kim can be seen looking on as a purported thermonuclear warhead is loaded onto an intercontinental ballistic missile, which KCNA described as having “great destructive powers.” KCNA added that all hydrogen bomb components are homemade, so the North can “produce as many as it wants.” The report also claimed that the North have developed a powerful electromagnetic pulse weapon.
According to the Wall Street Journal, experts fear an attack with this type of weapon could wipe out electrical networks in the U.S.

As a reminder, in July, the North launched two ICBMs capable of reaching the US mainland, and after a monthlong break, Kim resumed his provocative missile tests last Friday by launching three short-range missiles into the Sea of Japan – and then on Monday, in another unprecedented provocation, the North fired an intermediate-range missile over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.
