North Korea Tests Nuclear Weapon

North Korea has reportedly tested a nuclear weapon, which has been confirmed by USGS monitoring systems which detected a magnitude 4.2 seismic event in the northeastern section of the country. I will be posting on this in more detail later as the repercussions of this major event are felt. Nevertheless, this development requires a thoughtful yet robust response from the international community, as we cannot tolerate North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons of any kind.
