**rth Korea conducted yet a**ther nuclear test on Sept. 8, and it was seemingly the country's most powerful yet.
Registering some 10 kilotons, according to reports (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-**rthkorea-nuclear-test-idUSKCN11F07C) from South Korea, the blast was apparently twice as powerful as the last test (http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/09/asia/**rth-korea-nuclear-activity/index.html) in January. Both are significant increases in explosive power from the first **rth Korean test in October 2006, which U.S. intelligence officials estimated to be around 1 kiloton.
