    [55] [56] In January 2016, North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, [57] although only a magnitude 5.1 seismic event was detected at the time of the test, [58] a similar magnitude to the 2013 test of a 6–9 kt (25–38 TJ) atomic bomb. These seismic recordings cast doubt upon North Korea's claim that a hydrogen bomb was ...
