North Korea announced its fifth successful nuclear test on Friday morning, stating that it is now able to mount nuclear warheads on ballistic rockets. The announcement came after a large seismic event was identified at the country's nuclear test site. The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected a powerful explosion measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale at the site, igniting reports of the nuclear test, believed to be the country's most powerful yet.
