Yonhap owned by South Korea said the institute has succeeded in developing a “more developed nuke,” bringing about a “signal turn” in the country’s nuclear weaponization, according to the report. Scientists “further upgraded its technical performance at a higher ultra-modern level on the basis of precious successes made in the first H-bomb test,” the KCNA said. The H-bomb can be detonated even at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP attacks, it added. In January 2016, N...
