UPDATE: 3:00 p.m. U.S. Central Time –

According to Russia’s Defense Minister, North Korea’s Nuclear Test was of greater magnitude than first reported. They are estimating that the test was the equivalent of 5,000 tons to 15,000 tons of TNT. As a comparison, the AP article stated that the bomb dropped by the U.S. on Hiroshima during WWII was the equivalent of 15,000 tons of TNT.
