North Korea’s Newest Nuclear Test: Get the Latest Resources

On September 9, 2016 North Korea confirmed that it carried out its
fifth, and reportedly largest, nuclear test.  Reports in the region initially detected a 5.3-magnitude
earthquake, but a statement from the Nuclear Weapons Institute of the DPRK on the North
Korean Central News Agency confirmed the nuclear test at 9 am local time. International
reactions have condemned North Korea’s
actions.

This nuclear test comes just days after the country tested a
never-before-seen Extended Range Scud missile on Monday while world leaders met
in China for the G-20 summit, and is only several months after North Korea’s
most recent nuclear test in January 2016.

NTI and the James Martin Center
for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) have prepared extensive resources for
reporters and analysts looking for background information on North Korea’s
nuclear weapons and missile programs. To speak to
