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.
Japanese intelligence sources say North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has received a COVID-19 vaccination from the Chinese government. According to Business Insider, the obese 36-year-old dictator is a heavy smoker. That's fueled speculation that he would experience complications if he were to contract COVID-19. North Korea's propaganda outlets have been quiet about infection rates in the pariah state. While its capital, Pyongyang, reports suspected cases, it has yet to confirm positive cases. It blames a lone defector from South Korea for bringing in the virus.

According to the Associated Press, Kim has ordered the execution of at least two people, locked down the capital of Pyongyang, and implemented other measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. One of the two people who were executed was a well-known money changer in Pyongyang, who was reportedly blamed for North Korea's falling exchange rate.
