South Korean Media Uses Soviet Footage of Hydrogen Bomb, Not North Korea’s

While everyone is panicking about North Korea using a hydrogen bomb, South Korean TV channel YTN thought it would be appropriate to show the footage of Pyongyang’s bomb testing while airing a TV program. The only problem was that YTN used 62-year-old Soviet footage while talking about their neighbors in the North, Russia’s Gazeta.ru reported.

The footage the South Korean TV channel used is actually video of a Soviet hydrogen bomb testing in 1953, Gazeta.ru said.
