| What's new is the footage, not the news. |
North Korea on Thursday published footage of what it claimed was the successful launch of a submarine-based ballistic missile.
The two-minute clip posted on the propaganda website Uriminzokkiri shows a projectile that appears to be a ballistic missile being launched from a black submerged vessel as North Korean leader Fat Boy Kim Jong-un watches through binoculars.
The corpulent Kim is then heard to hail the launch as a major accomplishment.
The clip says the successful launch will enable Pyongyang to conduct underwater missions "as it wishes" and to strike its enemies "from the sea."
A Unification Ministry official said, "North Korea's intent in unveiling the footage appears aimed at showing off its military might and threatening the Seoul-Washington alliance."
