Here's a look at what a hydrogen bomb is, and what exactly it can do:

CHINA has shut down the option of a military response to the North Korean missile crisis, saying war is not the solution to Kim Jong Un’s growing nuclear capabilites.

Washington has been paying Pyongyang “extortion money” for over two decades, US President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Wednesday.

North Korea has fired a missile that flew over northern Japan before crashing into the sea.

WITH tensions remaining high in the Korean peninsula, experts are alert to the risk of the conflict escalating out of hand and spreading across the world.

KIM Jong-un has issued an order that could give North Korea the upper hand in the event of a nuclear war against the US.

Trump described the developments as a “well reasoned decision” early Wednesday, after a sustained period of rhetoric from both nations suggested a military conflict was on the cards.

NORTH Korea might be holding off its plan to target Guam in a missile attack. But here’s what would happen if it did follow through.

At least 3.5 million young people and retired soldiers have joined the North Korean military to fight in the event of a war against the US, state media said, adding that people are rising up “to retaliate against” Washington.

PRESIDENT Trump said US military solutions are "locked and loaded” in a direct threat against North Korea as tensions continue to mount.

US President Donald Trump said his “fire and fury” warning to North Korea may not have been “tough enough,” shrugging off domestic critics who accused him of reckless rhetoric.

PRESIDENT Trump has vowed the US will remain the “most powerful nation in the world” and bragged about its “stronger and more powerful” nuclear arsenal in a direct threat against North Korea online.

AN ATTACK on the tiny Pacific territory of Guam could escalate to draw in the world’s most powerful nations within 24 hours under a rarely-used clause of the NATO military alliance.

NORTH Korea has retaliated to Donald Trump’s warning of “fire and fury like the world has never seen” by threatening a missile strike on a US Pacific territory frighteningly close to Australia.

US President Donald Trump has yet again called for tough and decisive action over the “dangers posed by North Korea,” while praising the UN's solidarity over the crisis. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is reportedly reviewing missile restrictions with Seoul.

The US government is not seeking a regime change in North Korea, the secretary of state says, amid tensions over Pyongyang's weapons programme.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that China could easily pressure North Korea into curtailing its missile and nuclear programs. He raised the issue again in tweets Saturday.

That, of course, is Kim's other pet project.
