North Korea has claimed it has developed a more advanced nuclear weapon that has 'great destructive power' on Saturday.
Photos show the country's leader Kim Jong-un inspecting a hydrogen bomb that will be loaded on a new intercontinental ballistic missile. 
The hydrogen bomb's power is adjustable and can be detonated at high altitudes as the regime claims it can build as many of the nuclear weapons as it wishes.
The recent development comes amid heightened tension following Pyongyang’s test launch of two missiles in July that potentially could hit major mainland US cities. 
Also on Saturday, North Korea taunted world leaders, calling them 'puppets' and bragged that an attempt to locate and destroy its missiles was a 'silly dream'.

In the report about the new bomb, KCNA added: 'Kim Jong-un said he felt the pride at the indomitably bolstering up of [North Korea’s] nuclear forces despite a great price as he watched the Juche-oriented thermonuclear weapon with super explosive power made by our own efforts and technology.
'He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that our scientists can do anything without fail if the party is determined to do.

'The scientists further upgraded its technical performance at a higher ultra-modern level on the basis of precious successes made in the first H-bomb test.' 
There will be some skepticism about the claim from experts about Pyongyang’s assertion that it has mastered hydrogen technology. 
Still, North Korea is increasingly putting leaders on edge as the isolated country continues to push its limits in regards to building up weaponry and firing off missiles.

President Donald Trump tweeted that talking 'is not the answer' to dealing with North Korea 

On Monday, North Korea, which sees the exercises as preparations for invasion, raised the stakes in its stand-off with the United States and its allies by firing an intermediate-range missile over Japan.
Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called the move an 'unprecedented' threat to his country.  
On Thursday KCNA, denounced the military drills in traditionally robust fashion, calling them 'the rash act of those taken aback' by the missile test, which it described as 'the first military operation in the Pacific.'
President Trump, who has warned that his military is 'locked and loaded' in case of North Korean provocation, reacted angrily to the latest missile test.
He declared on Twitter that 'talking is not the answer' to resolving the crisis over North Korea's weapons programs.

LONG-RANGE ROCKETS READY 'IN MONTHS'

France's foreign minister said on Friday that North Korea would have capability to send long-range ballistic missiles in a few months and urged China to be more active diplomatically to resolve the crisis.
'The situation is extremely serious... we see North Korea setting itself as an objective to have tomorrow or the day after missiles that can transport nuclear weapons. In a few months that will be a reality,' Jean-Yves Le Drian told RTL radio.
'At the moment, when North Korea has the means to strike the United States, even Europe, but definitely Japan and China, then the situation will be explosive,' he said.
Le Drian said everything had to be done to ensure a latest round of United Nations sanctions was implemented and urged China to enforce them.
'North Korea must find the path to negotiations. It must be diplomatically active.'

U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was quick on Wednesday to stress that a diplomatic solution remained possible, but on Thursday he told reporters he agreed with Trump that Washington 'should not be talking right now to a nation that is firing missiles over the top of Japan, an ally.'
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders reiterated at a regular briefing on Thursday that all options - diplomatic, economic and military - remained on the table.
Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera spoke to Mattis by telephone and agreed to keep putting pressure on North Korea in a 'visible' form, Japan's defence ministry said. Japanese Prime Shinzo Abe said he and visiting British Prime Minister Theresa May agreed to urge China, North Korea's lone major ally, to do more to rein in North Korea. 
Experts and officials have said North Korea could conduct its sixth nuclear test at any time, and that the reclusive country has maintained a readiness at its nuclear test site to conduct another detonation test at any time.
North Korea last year conducted its fourth and fifth nuclear tests, saying the fourth in January 2016 was a successful hydrogen bomb test, although outside experts questioned whether it was a full-fledged hydrogen bomb.

The fifth nuclear test in September 2016 was measured to be possibly North Korea’s biggest detonation ever, but the earthquake it caused was still not believed to be big enough to demonstrate a thermonuclear test.
