I'm of the understanding that all three tests have been somewhat unclear as to whether they were in fact really nuclear detonations.

A way to achieve such result is to mobilize public opinion against an enemy, but you need to create an enemy when you don’t have any. It may explain the aggressiveness of North Korea and it makes their nuclear program a dangerous threat.
