SEOUL ? North Korea on Tuesday conducted an underground explosion of what it called a ?miniaturized? nuclear weapon, testing a technology that could theoretically be paired with a long-range missile to threaten the United States.

Pyongyang confirmed the test nearly three hours after unusual seismic activity was detected near the secretive police state?s mountainous test site. The test follows weeks of threats from the North to build up its nuclear capacity and carry out an ?all-out action of high intensity.?.

Upped to a 5.1. How ?miniaturized? is that?
