North Korea has claimed it has developed a more advanced nuclear weapon that has ‘great destructive power’ on Saturday.

Photos show the country’s leader Kim Jong-un inspecting a hydrogen bomb that will be loaded on a new intercontinental ballistic missile.

The hydrogen bomb’s power is adjustable to hundreds of kilotons and can be detonated at high altitudes.

Its indigenously produced components allow the country to build as many nuclear weapons as it wants, the North’s official KCNA news agency said.
