The hydrogen bomb test which is considered to be the strongest yet was confirmed via a 6.3 magnitude “artificial earthquake” according to officials in Japan, China and South Korea. Additionally, Japan has sent “sniffer” planes to the Korean peninsula to test radioactive agents in the air something that would be consistent with a nuclear test on the peninsula.
