North Korea is planning to test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean after Donald Trump vowed to ‘totally destroy’ Kim Jong-un’s rogue state.
North Korea’s top diplomat said the country planned to test the bomb to fulfill Kim Jong Un’s vow to take the ‘highest-level of hard-line countermeasure in history’ against the US.
The threat comes after US President Donald Trump said he would ‘totally destroy’ North Korea.

At his UN address on Tuesday, President Trump warned the North Korean leader that the United States, if threatened, would take out the country of 26 million people.
Kim Jong-un confirmed his nuclear program was on ‘the correct path’ when he spoke at the UN on Tuesday.
He called Mr Trump ‘mentally deranged’ and said the US President’s comments were ‘the most ferocious declaration of war in history’.
‘I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire,’ Kim said in the rare direct statement, referring to Trump.
‘(It) could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific,’ Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
Ri reportedly added: ‘We have no idea about what actions could be taken as it will be ordered by leader Kim Jong Un.’
If North Korea launches the test, it will be considered a major provocation by Washington and its allies.
