North Korea Tests Another Nuke

North Korea conducted its fifth underground nuclear test on Friday, its government said, despite threats of more sanctions from the United States and the United Nations. The latest test, according to South Korean officials, produced a more powerful explosive yield than the North’s previous detonations, indicating that the country was making progress in its efforts to build a functional nuclear warhead.

North Korea has carried out its fifth nuclear test, and Kim Jong Un is smiling.

After a breathtaking run of missile and nuclear tests this year, the North Korean leader is now promising miniaturized warheads.
