White House casts doubt on N. Korea's hydrogen bomb claims

Posted by Anup Baral December 11, 2015 :



The United States and Russia say they're skeptical about North Korea's recent claim that it possesses a hydrogen bomb. The White House says that,... while the destabilizing actions of the North Korean regime are worrisome, Kim Jong-un's claims are highly questionable. According to Seoul based Yonhap News Agency,... U.S. think tanks, including 38 North and the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, also have doubts about Pyongyang's capability to build a hydrogen bomb. They say North Korea appears to be using hydrogen bomb-building materials to enhance the power of its atomic bomb instead. Russia has echoed the view... saying the North's claims are likely nothing more than a bluff. Kremlin officials, noting that Kim has made similar false claims before, said it was literally impossible in this modern day to develop a hydrogen bomb without the world knowing first. @ARIRANG NEWS
