North Korea has confirmed it has conducted its fifth nuclear test, announcing it is now capable of mounting nuclear warheads on ballistic rockets. The statement came just hours after a powerful explosion was reported near the country's secretive nuclear test site.
"The standardization of the nuclear warhead will enable the DPRK [North Korea] to produce at will and as many as it wants a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power," a statement from Pyongyang, posted on the website of the Korean Central News Agency, reads.
Pyongyang also claimed that no leakage of nuclear material had occurred in the test, and that there was no negative environmental impact.
A video released by North Korea appeared to show a tremor taking place near the test site.
Earlier, a powerful explosion measured 5.3 in magnitude was reported at the site of North Korea's bomb tests by the US Geological Survey (USGS), triggering reports of an apparent nuclear test.
In January this year, North Korea carried out its fourth nuclear test at the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site, which was registered as a 5.1-magnitude tremor by seismological organizations.
The latest test appears to be the most powerful one in the history of North Korea's nuclear program, South Korea's Defense Ministry said, adding that the yield of the previous January test was about 6 kilotons. Earlier tests were conducted in 2013 (6-9 kilotons), 2009 (2-4 kilotons) and 2006 (1 kiloton).
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

Pure unadulterated hatred makes it easier, not only to kill, but allow it to happen. Humancide is completely unacceptable.
