朝鲜称其成功进行了一次核武器测试，澳大利亚对朝鲜此举表示谴责，并警告称，朝鲜这一轻率行为对全球和平与安全是巨大的威胁。

A six-point-three magnitude earthquake was detected around North Korea's usual testing site, followed soon after by a smaller tremor². Pyongyang has since confirmed it tested a hydrogen bomb. The ABC's China correspondent says the timing³ of this test is no coincidence. The Chinese leadership will host the heads of major developing countries this week and the test may be seen as an act of defiance⁴ against the international sanctions imposed on North Korea.
