North Korea reported that they have successfully detonated a Hydrogen bomb capable of being loaded onto an intercontinental ballistic missile. While Japanese officials are still working to confirm that the explosion was in fact the test of an H-bomb, the assertion is still concerning to Japanese and American governments in the midst of mounting concern over North Korea possessing nuclear weapons. Prime Minister Abe said that he is working with President Trump to address the situation.
