“That’s the largest DPRK [North Korea] test to date, 20-30kt, at least. Not a happy day.  The important thing is that five tests in, they now have a lot of nuclear test experience. They aren’t a backwards state anymore.”

Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, cited in numerous previous articles is the foremost expert on EMP threats to the United States.  Dr. Pry’s information regarding potential threat nations stems from his years as an analyst for the CIA, and he maintains close ties with the agency as well as serving on the various EMP threat commissions that brief Congress annually.  Dr. Pry has indicated that the nations of North Korea and Iran both hold a military doctrine of nuclear first strikes against America by employment of an EMP device above the continental United States.  His detailed analyses can be referenced and downloaded by visiting the sites with the EMP threat briefings that he has given to Congress from 2006 through 2010.
The other consideration here is that to deliver an EMP, it is no longer necessary to detonate a nuclear warhead in the “megaton” ranges.  A low-yield nuclear device can generate the EMP, and the North Koreans have been stating (very publicly) that they will attack the U.S. in such a manner.  Elias Groll of Foreign Policy Magazine wrote a piece entitled “This is How North Korea will Get Its Nukes Past American Missile Defense Systems,” showing how the THAD anti-ballistic missile system can be circumvented by launching multiple missiles simultaneously to confuse the system’s radar.



The North Koreans aren’t playing around.  Two days prior to their nuclear test, on Wednesday, September 7th a DoS (Denial of Service) attack came electronically against the Project on Crowdsourced Satellite Imagery.  This organization monitors nuclear sites and nuclear weapons storage facilities around the world, and it sells its services to governments.  You can read more about this in the article “DoS Attack Crashes Website Monitoring North Korea’s Nuclear Test Site,” by Eric Niiler of Wired.com.  Guess who else is involved in this one?  Melissa Hanham again.  Here’s an excerpt of the article giving her thoughts on the negated monitoring, as the server handling the satellite information was taken down by hackers prior to North Korea busting a nuke:
