South Korea and U.S. Marines stand in smoke during the 66th Incheon Landing Operations Commemoration ceremony in Incheon, South Korea, Friday, Sept. 9, 2016. Incheon is the coastal city where the United Nations Forces led by U.S. Gen。 Douglas MacArthur landed in September, 1950 just months after North Korea invaded the South.

It is Pyongyang's fifth atomic test and the second in eight months.
