North Korea Confirms Successful Testing of Hydrogen Bomb
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, an earthquake occurred in South Korea, prompting Seoul's suspicions that Pyongyang had performed a nuclear test. North Korea subsequently confirmed that it had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb.

"If North Korean H-bomb test reports are true, it is a grave breach of #UNSC resolutions & a provocation which I condemn without reservation," Philip Hammond wrote on Twitter.
