Just “attention seeking”: North Korea on Friday conducted its fifth atomic test, producing its biggest-ever explosive yield, South Korean officials said after monitors detected unusual seismic activity near the North’s northeastern nuclear test site.

Obama refuses to call North Korea out for sponsoring terrorism:

This incident is covered on tonight’s edition of “The John Batchelor Show”. It appears that Kim’s pushing ahead because he feels that nobody’s going to oppose him.
No doubt Iran and N. Korea are combining forces with Obama’s cash infusion.

That’s a 5.3 magnitude quake at a depth of zero kilometers.
