To generate an EMF storm requires a megaton or more.  That's an H bomb.  So far, the Norks have only fielded A bombs -- kilotons.  

Most of the US ICBMs have warheads in the 1 to 1.5 megaton range.  However, there are a few 5 megaton warheads -- mountain crackers, we reserved for the Soviet leadership.  Reagan explained to the politburo, we knew where they were and there was an ICBM with their name on it.  Helped to clear their heads and negotiate. 

I might note that the Norks apparently haven't figured out how to to keep their warheads from burning up during re-entry. Kim is saber-rattling.
