"The apparent nuclear test was conducted at 10:36 a.m. Monday in Hwaderi near Kilju city. U.S., French and South Korean experts estimated that the power of the explosion, about 240 miles northeast of Pyongyang, was equivalent to about 500 metric tons of TNT, which a senior U.S. intelligence community official said was unusually small for a nuclear blast."
It is strange to see North Korea doing this. I mean what use can they have from all this? The reactions were very critical. I am not sure, but this might be another method used to bring chaos in this world politics. Nothing good can result from this. I don't know their plans with this and how will they use this potential crisis. One thing is certain North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel they are all hot spots. And if you look closer you will see that USA is not that far away from all these places.
It seems we got a new nuclear power in this world. Lets just name all of them:
North Korea: Believed to have enough fissile material for a half-dozen weapons, but estimates vary widely and are unverified.
The United States: More than 5,000 strategic warheads, more than 1,000 operational tactical weapons -- meant for the battlefield and less powerful than the strategic arms -- and approximately 3,000 reserve and tactical warheads.
Russia: Nearly 5,000 strategic warheads, and approximately 3,500 operational tactical warheads. In addition, it has more than 11,000 strategic and tactical warheads in storage.
France: Approximately 350 strategic warheads.
China: As many as 250 strategic warheads and 150 tactical warheads.
Britain: About 200 strategic warheads.
India: Between 45 and 95 nuclear warheads.
Pakistan: Between 30 and 50 nuclear warheads.
Israel: Refuses to confirm it is a nuclear weapons state but is generally assumed to have up to 200 nuclear warheads.
