North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says his country has developed a hydrogen bomb, state media reported Thursday.
Jong Un made the statement during an arms industry inspection on Wednesday, South Korean news agency Yonhap said, citing reports.
Information related to the highly secretive nation of North Korea, which has nuclear weapons, is extremely difficult to independently confirm.
A report by the North's official Korean Central News Agency said the country is now a "powerful nuclear weapons state ready to detonate a self-reliant A-bomb (atomic bomb) and H-bomb (hydrogen bomb) to reliably defend its sovereignty and the dignity of the nation," Yonhap reported.

Report: North Korea prepping for new nuclear test
Thermonuclear bombs, or hydrogen bombs, are far more powerful than conventional nuclear weapons.
It is believed to be the first time Kim has publicly said the North has developed the weapon, Yonhap reported.
Lee Chun-geun, a Science and Technology Policy Institute research fellow, told the news agency: "It's hard to regard North Korea as possessing an H-bomb. I think it seems to be developing it.”
Kim said he is prepared to wage war against the United States if necessary in a speech to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the ruling communist Workers' Party on Oct. 10.

Men and women pump their fists in the air and chant "defend!" as they carry propaganda slogans calling for reunification of their country during the "Pyongyang Mass Rally on the Day of the Struggle Against the U.S.," attended by approximately 100,000 North Koreans to mark the 65th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War at the Kim Il Sung stadium, Thursday, June 25, 2015, in Pyongyang, North Korea. The month of June in North Korea is known as the "Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism Month" and it's a time for North Koreans to swarm to war museums, mobilize for gatherings denouncing the evils of the United States and join in a general, nationwide whipping up of the anti-American sentiment.<span style="color: Red;">*</span> Wong Maye-E, AP
