North Korea said it tested its first hydrogen bomb, risking reigniting tensions with China and the U.S. after months of calm even as some experts cast doubt on the full extent of Pyongyang’s claim.

The reclusive regime tested the device at 10 a.m. local time, the official Korean Central News Agency said, and the blast triggered a magnitude 5.1 earthquake. But its claims to have detonated a hydrogen bomb -- rather than a less powerful atomic bomb -- immediately drew skepticism.

North Korea carried out the test “safely” and “perfectly” in an act of “self-defense” against its enemies, KCNA said. It “has confidently risen to the ranks of nuclear powers with hydrogen bombs by perfectly succeeding in the historic test of a hydrogen bomb,” Korean Central Television anchorwoman Ri Chun Hui said.

The detonation puts the erratic regime’s weapons program back on the global diplomatic agenda. If it proved to be a hydrogen weapon it would bring Kim Jong Un’snation into an elite league of nuclear powers as only a few nations are known to possess hydrogen bombs, including the U.S. and China.
