The “advantages” of the weapon were “the peculiar mode of guiding flight and the load of a powerful warhead”, KCNA said.South Korea had not detected anything on radar so it was unlikely to have been a missile, a military official told AFP. The think tank said evidence suggested Pyongyang may be reprocessing radioactive material into bomb fuel.

“Kim is trying to make a statement to the Trump administration that his military potential is growing by the day,” said Harry Kazianis, an analyst at the Washington-based Center for the National Interest.Koh Yu-hwan, professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University, agreed the test was a message to the US showing its displeasure over the stalled nuclear talks.
