North Korea preparing to launch missile, South Korea believes after holding live-fire drill
North Korea is readying the launch of a ballistic missile, military leaders in South Korea believe after launching rockets in a live-fire drill.
Sunday's nuclear test by Kim Jong Un's regime had an estimated strength of 50 kilotons, defence ministry officials told a parliamentary briefing on Monday.
That would make it five times the size of the North's previous test in September last year - and more than three times bigger than the US device that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945.
South Korea responded to the nuclear test - which the North claimed was of a hydrogen bomb - with live-fire drills off its eastern coast on Monday that were meant to simulate an attack on the North's main nuclear test site.
