North Korea can test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean. This was stated by the Foreign Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Lee Yong-ho.

According to him, the North Korean leadership does not exclude consideration of the issue of testing in the Pacific after the recent speech by US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly. At the same time, he stressed that the final decision on such issues is taken only by the leader of the DPRK Kim Jong Eun.

"This could be the most powerful explosion of a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean," Yonghap quoted Li Yong..

The Minister also said that with the arrival of Trump as the US President in the world, there was concern, because in foreign policy, the United States began to use threats and blackmail against other states. For his militaristic policy, Donald Trump received from Lee Yong-ho a comparison with a hooligan and gangster who likes to "play with fire," RT reports..

The tension on the Korean peninsula increased against the backdrop of ongoing tests within the framework of the North Korean nuclear program. The last such test took place on September 3 in defiance of international condemnation. In July, the DPRK twice launched intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), notes Yonhap.
