IIRC, it was Edward Teller, watching a seismograph in the US during the Ivy-Mike test commented "It's a boy"
I'd say his comment is applicable to this test too in view of the yield estimates ranging up to a megaton at this point. (which would be in the range of 10% of the yield of Ivy-Mike, the first 'true' hydrogen bomb test*)
It is significantly larger than their last test.
*as I recall, while their is no upper yield limit to a hydrogen bomb, atomic (fission) bombs larger than 500 kilotons aren't feasible. If this test is in fact approaching a megaton in yield, it is clearly an H-bomb, and a rather potent one at that.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
