SEOUL — North Korea said it staged its first test of a more powerful form of nuclear weapon, which expands the U.S.’s foreign policy challenges and highlights the limits of China’s ability to rein in its volatile ally.
An announcer on North Korean state television said in a midday broadcast that scientists had successfully detonated a hydrogen bomb at around 10 a.m. local time.
