- description: North Korea Says it Has Successfully Conducted a Nuclear Test A large tremor measured at magnitude 4.9 was detected in North Korea and governments in the region are trying to determine whether it was a nuclear test that the North Korean regime has vowed to carry out despite international protests. Japan's prime minister has called an urgent security meeting, according to chief government spokesman Yoshihide Suga, and South Korea raised its military alert level, the AP reported. The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization told ABC News, "We confirm that a suspicious seismic event has taken place in North Korea." The agency said it was trying to confirm the nature of the tremor. In January, North Korea threatened to carry out a "higher-level" test following its successful Dec. 12 long-range rocket launch. Suspicions were aroused when the U.S. Geological Survey said it had detected a magnitude 4.9 earthquake Tuesday in North Korea. North Korea threatened in January to carry out a "higher-level" test following the Dec. 12 rocket launch. At the time, North Korea's new leader Kim Jong-Un said his country's weapons tests were specifically targeting the United States.
