North Korea on Sunday claimed that it had successfully conducted a hydrogen bomb test, its most powerful nuclear test so far, becoming a cause of concern for nearby nations and the United States.

As North Korean state media announced that the thermonuclear test was a "perfect success" they also stated that the hydrogen bomb can be installed on top of a missile which has the capability of reaching the US mainland.
