Philippines condemns North Korea Hydrogen bomb test

According to reports, an initial analysis of the available data was “is not consistent” with North Korea’s claims that they had deployed a hydrogen bomb for the first time, they said.

“The Philippines strongly condemns any violation of UN Security Council Resolutions, which demand that the DPRK not conduct further nuclear tests”, said the DFA.

“As long as the United States maintains its policy of aggression against North Korea, I think developing a hydrogen bomb is inevitable”, said one resident, Yun Kuk Chol.

Officials in South Korea say that the explosion was too small to be originated from a hydrogen bomb. “We have consistently made clear that we will not accept (North Korea) as a nuclear state”.

He said his late father and former leader Kim Jong-Il, “turned the DPRK into a powerful nuclear weapons state ready to detonate a self-reliant A-bomb and H-bomb to reliably defend its sovereignty and the dignity of the nation”.

“North Korea’s continued violations of its worldwide obligations pose a grave threat to global peace and security, and particularly to the stability of the region”. North Korea is thought to have a handful of rudimentary nuclear bombs.

The UN Security Council is to address the possible nuclear test on Wednesday, at 4:00pm GMT.

The council was set to hold a closed-door meeting from 2130 IST to discuss the nuclear test, at the request of the United States and Japan.

In a statement, the repressive North Korean regime claimed that after years of testing nuclear weapons, they had finally achieved a thermonuclear reaction at 10 A.M. local time, joining the five countries that have successfully tested the more advanced nuclear device.

At an emergency National Security Council meeting in Seoul, South Korean President Park Geun-hye vowed to respond with might to the North’s test. A statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg condemned the continued development by North Korea of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and its inflammatory and threatening rhetoric.
