ND_2H has been detected for the first time in the dense core of L134N, at the peak ammonia position. The abundance ratio [ND_2H]/[NH_2D] is 0.05, a slightly smaller value than the deuterium fractionation observed for ammonia [NH_2D]/[NH_3] ~ 0.1 (Tiné et al. \cite{Tine00}). This is the second doubly deuterated species detected so far in the interstellar medium, and the first one in a cold dense core. The chemical processes leading to the formation of a significant amount of doubly deuterated ammonia ND_2H need to be thorougly investigated.
