The DPRK has said that its nuclear test was not intended to be a provocation or threat, even as it laid out plans for a weapons system capable of obliterating the entire United States.
A commentary from the official KCNA news agency underlines the country's claim that last Wednesday's test was of a powerful miniaturized hydrogen bomb.
The commentary says the main focus of the test was on providing a "sure guarantee" of the DPRK's immunity from attack by hostile forces, including the US.
