The announcement on state media came hours after a seismic event was detected near its nuclear test site.South Korea believes it is the North's biggest-ever test, raising fears it has made significant nuclear advances.South Korean President Park Geun-hye called it an act of "self-destruction" showing the "maniacal recklessness" of leader Kim Jong-un. The US warned of "serious consequences".China's foreign ministry said Beijing was resolutely opposed to the test and urged North Korea to avoid further action that would worsen the situation.
