Designed as such in an exo-atmospheric test, maybe. By accident done long ago in South Pacific. H Bomb blew burglar alarms in Hawaii in early 1960s or was it 1958 ?. Also caused auroras over southern hemisphere. Story goes that no-one knew at time that lithium in the lithium hydride broke down to tritium and made H bomb way more powerful than intended.
Personally, I would suggest NK exists to needle merkins for the Chinese and even the NK generals know that any attack on USA soil would result in new lovely round glass bottom lakes north of Seoul. One wonders what would happen if there was an organised mockery of the fat boy mk3 instead of breathless political punditory and panic. One also wonders how much NK economy can produce in missiles Building a series of prototypes is one thing, building 20 reliable ones to wave around is another..
