The announcement said the Pyongyang regime had successfully conducted a test of a miniaturised hydrogen nuclear device on Wednesday morning.
The country had a “legal right” to defend the country against the United States, a newsreader said, and claimed that if the US did not threaten North Korean sovereignty, it would not need to use nuclear weapons.
Speculation about the nuclear test rose after seismologists from South Korea, China and other countries said they had detected an artificial earthquake at around 10am local time (1am GMT) on Wednesday in an area close to the country’s nuclear testing site.
The test could bring North Korea a step closer to developing a nuclear warhead small enough to be mounted on a long-range missile, and possibly bringing the US mainland within striking distance.
