How about a little more news from North Korea!
After North Korea said it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, the U.S. late Tuesday acknowledged "seismic activity" near a nuclear site in the country but stopped short of confirming the claim.
"We are aware of seismic activity on the Korean Peninsula in the vicinity of a known North Korean nuclear test site and have seen Pyongyang's claims of a nuclear test," John Kirby, State Department spokesman, said in a statement.
"We are monitoring and continuing to assess the situation in close coordination with our regional partners," he added. "While we cannot confirm these claims at this time, we condemn any violation of UN Security Council Resolutions and again call on North Korea to abide by its international obligations and commitments."
The Defense Department didn't comment on the news reports but shared the State Department statement.
