A shallow, 6.3-magnitude earthquake shook North Korea earlier today (Sunday) with Pyongyang later confirming it had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb that possesses "great destructive power". In a joint statement with Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop and Defence Minister Marise Payne, Mr Turnbull said Australia "utterly condemns North Korea's flagarant defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions, which ban nuclear weapons development and testing by Kim Jong-un's regime". While there is no independent confirmation of the bomb, the Australian government says North Korea's sixth nuclear test poses a "grave danger to global peace and security".
